thanksgiving turkey tips

Q: When should I buy my turkey?
A: Order your bird about two weeks before Thanksgiving to ensure that the store doesn't run out. However, if you are purchasing a fresh turkey, you'll want to pick it up one or two days before cooking it, to ensure food safety.

Q: How big a turkey should I get?
A: The general rule of thumb is 1 pound per person. But since Thanksgiving is all about the leftovers, we suggest about 1½ pounds of turkey per person.

Q: What do I do with all that leftover turkey?
A: Make the best sandwiches you'll have all year. Plus, turkey is great in soups, salads and chili.
