Now that we’ve helped you with ideas for a wonderful gift that can be worn and appreciated by your children and theirs, here is a quick tip for making a delicious turkey, compliments of Allrecipes.com.

Before you buy the turkey, figure out your guest list. You should have 1 to 1½ pounds of turkey per person. If you have bought a fresh turkey then you don’t need to worry about defrosting one, if yours is frozen make sure to follow these steps:

The preferred method is to defrost it in the refrigerator; allow one day per 5 pounds. A 15-pound turkey will require three days to defrost thoroughly.

If this seems unlikely due to a crisis of lack of space in your refrigerator, then you can speed up the defrosting process by putting the turkey in a cold water bath. Allow 30 minutes per pound. That 15-pound turkey will require only 7½ hours to defrost using this approach. It is also possible to use a combination of these methods.

How to Roast Your Turkey

To prepare the turkey for roasting, first remove the giblets! Not only is it disconcerting to find these paper-wrapped lumps when carving the bird, but you may also wish to use the giblets in your gravy or stuffing. Next, rinse the bird inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels.

• If you are stuffing the bird, stuff it loosely, allowing about ½ to ¾ cup stuffing per pound of turkey.
• Brush the skin with melted butter or oil. Tie drumsticks together with string (for stuffed birds only).
• Lastly, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The thermometer should point towards the body, and should not touch the bone.
• Place the bird on a rack in a roasting pan, and into a preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven. Use the following chart to estimate the time required for baking.
• Bake until the skin is a light golden color, and then cover loosely with a foil tent. During the last 45 minutes of baking, remove the foil tent to brown the skin. Basting is not necessary, but helps promote even browning.
