Its time to order turkey

The first item on your to-do list should be to order the turkey if you haven’t already done so.

"It was important for me to start this foundation because it’s rooted in caring for others."

I actually roasted a turkey earlier this week.

This highly flavored dish comes together in under 30 minutes

It’s such a smart recipe.

It’s Time to Order the Turkey

If you want to take it up a notch, you can make your own garam masala for the yogurt mixture.

Splaying — in which poultry legs are pulled out from the body to allow for faster roasting — is far easier than spatchcocking (above) and almost as speedy.

Remember that if you are getting a frozen turkey, you’ll need a day for every four pounds to defrost it safely in the fridge.

Enjoy!
