How to Safely Cook a Turkey

Wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving

Ok, now your turkey is ready and you're ready to have your guests, I hope. Here's how to cook your turkey safely.

Roasting a whole turkey is not all that a big deal, so long as you take special care when handling the raw poultry. It's really important to take all the necessary precautionary measures when handling and cooking it. It is essential to wash your hands properly before and after handling the raw meat. Make sure that your utensils and surfaces are cleaned well. Wash the raw meat properly with hot water. I always do that because it is the first step to destroy certain bacteria.

Remember that it's not a good idea to keep the raw poultry out of the fridge for long. So after washing it properly store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook it. But for the frozen turkeys meat you need to see if it is completely defrosted before you start cooking it. The correct temperature and appropriate cooking time is really vital as it destroys the bacteria and prevents you from having food poisoning. Check out my post entitled “Prevention Tips For Thanksgiving Turkey Bird Flu” where I've mentioned about the correct temperature for cooking turkeys.

Here's something about the roasting time for the turkeys. The general rule is the larger the bird, the longer should be your cooking time.

Roasting Times for Stuffed Turkey

2 ¾ hrs to 3 ¼ hrs for 6 - 8 lbs turkey
3 hrs to 3 ½ hrs for 8 - 12 lbs turkey
3 ½ hrs to 4 hrs for for 12 - 14 lbs turkey
4 hrs to 4 ¼ hrs for for 14 - 18 lbs turkey
4 ¼ hrs to 4 ¾ hrs for 8 - 20 lbs turkey
4 ¾ hrs to 5 ¼ hrs for 20 - 24 lbs turkey

I was about to make a great blunder this Thanksgiving. I missed out to invite John for my Thanksgiving dinner, who has always been a good friend of mine. The last night I suddenly remember that and that's one more reason for me to be thankful to the Lord.

Prevention Tips For Thanksgiving Turkey Bird Flu

According to the report as laid by the American Turkey Council, the chances of getting avian flu by eating Thanksgiving turkey are "probably less than one in four." That means two out of a group of eight would probably be afflicted to the disease. Don't worry! This was the story of Thanksgiving 2005 -- you might not have forgot.

According to poultry experts in the College of Agricultural Sciences, we don't have to worry about avian flu virus this Thanksgiving in America. So that's one more reason for us to be thankful this year. But the story doesn't end here. Avian flu has been observed in birds on the other continents, although it isn't the thing for us, said Mike Hulet, associate professor of poultry science. So Why taking chance? Let's play safe. Here are some tips to avoid being affected with the Thanksgiving Turkey Bird Flu.

One single tip is to cook your turkeys properly. Gregory Martin, an extension poultry educator in Lancaster County and the other food safety experts recommended that the temperature should be:

• 180 degrees in the thigh.
• 165 degrees at the center of the stuffing.
• 170 degrees in the breast

I hope this simple tips will help make your Thanksgiving a real blast.

Sweet Potato Casserole For Thanksgiving Feast: Free of Allergen

I just dropped by A Homemaking Journey, when I came to know that Shiloah and Dawn have recently been diagnosed with food allergies. I was thinking of some of the cool recipes for those who are suffering from food allergies. Here's one of them. This is slightly less sweet version of the the traditional sweet potato casserole and you can try this out to make your Thanksgiving a perfect blast.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 medium sized sweet potatoes
• Brown sugar -- 2/3 cup
• Orange juice -- 1 cup
• Salt – as per requirement
• Allspice -- 1 tea spoon full
• Nutmeg -- 1/2 tea spoon full
• Allergen-free marshmallows for topping

Direction:
Step 1 – Start off with oiling the skin of the potatoes and pierce them in several places.
Step 2 – Roast the potatoes at 400^o F until the potatoes become soft and you can see oil caramelizing in the pierced areas.
Step 3 – When cooked fully, let them cool down to room temperature and peal off the skin to get the flesh out.
Step 4 – Add the orange juice, brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice and a couple of pinch of salt in a casserole dish.
Step 5 – Stir the mixture well and mash the sweet potato chunks with a fork. Smooth the whole mixture evenly throughout the casserole dish.
Step 6 -- Top the whole surface with a layer of marshmallows.
Step 7 – Cover it up and bake it for 20 minutes.
Step 8 – Put another layer of marshmallows toppings and bake it for 10 minutes more at 350^o F. When the marshmallows topping begins to turn golden-brown and melt take it out and serve hot.

Thanksgiving Countdown -- Eight Days Away

I am sure you can't resist the temptation to roast turkeys now. At least for me it's true, since Thanksgiving is only eight days away. If you've planned to arrange for a thanksgiving feast for your friends, it's the right time make some arrangement ahead of time.

• Make an advance payment of at least 50% for the turkeys. You might find to be harder to find the desired quantity right on Thanksgiving day or the day before.
• Shop for some of the most important ingredients like heavy cream, butternuts squash etc.
• Shop for the non perishable ingredients such as sugar, corn syrup, flour, brown sugar, canned pumpkin, packaged stuffing etc, so that you wont make a mess in haste.
• Order or pick up the wines and other beverages according to your need, before the crowd sets out. Remember that a bottle of wine contains about five glasses. Also don't forget to have a non-alcoholic drink choices on hand.
• Dig out your turkey roaster and the special serving plates that are in your closets. Clean them and try out a turkey roast in small amount for your family. So you know whether your roaster is working well.
• Spare a thought on sending special Thanksgiving wishes to your near and dear ones. You can reach out to those who are staying miles away with your warmth of presence on the Thanksgiving day.

Counting Down To Thanksgiving -- Three Weeks

Friends! Just three weeks more to grill the Thanksgiving turkey. It's really becoming tougher and tougher for me to resist my temptation for the roasted turkey on the Trukey Day.

If you've already prapared the Thanksgiving budget, then it's for sure that you have also chalked out the Thanksgiving dinner plan or Thanksgiving party plan. Whether you know it or not, it's now the perfect time to spare a thought over the Thanksgiving Invitation issue. Otherwise you will be too late and may end up with mess in haste, when it comes to the Turkey Day. Just follow a few simple steps to mark a name of yourself in the hearts of your special Thanksgiving guests.

• Decide how many people you can afford. Considering your pre-formulated budget and the space are of utmost importance.
• Make a list of the guests that you want to invite to join you at your Thanksgiving feast.
• Decide whether you want to include kids in your Thanksgiving party or adults only. If you are going to invite kids you may have to be very selective regarding fooda nd make necessary arrangements for some games and fun.
• As soon as you've prepared the list, give it a second glance as you may want to exclude somebody or replace somebody with any other person.
• Spare a thought on Thanksgiving invitation cards. This is the most neglected part of the story, despite of its immense importance. No point wasting time and money in making your own invitation cards, since it's a good idea to invite people online using the pre-designed invitation ecards.

How To Make Thanksgiving Wreath?

You can have a lot of fun on Thanksgiving. But more fun comes with the planning rather than the event itself. It doesn't matter whether it's making a plan for Thanksgiving decorations or Thanksgiving dinners or other Thanksgiving activities. So, I was thinking about making stuff like special thanksgiving decorations today.

How do you make a Thanksgiving wreath? It's not all that a big deal. But it's really an awesome idea to make a thanksgiving wreath by yourself because it saves you a lot of money. Plus you'll be ready for Christmas!

Requirements:

• Grapevine wreath
• Glue gun
• Glue Flowers (Artificial cloth sunflowers should be your choice)
• Ribbon Indian corn (Plastic corn that you can find in the local craft stores)
• Wood Pine Cones (You can get these at your local parks. Just pick the medium ones)
• Plastic pumpkins (Sizes should not be uniform, but pick the small ones.)
• Stuffed animal (You can find these in the local craft stores. Small to medium ones would be the perfect pick)

Direction:
Step 1: Start off with the grapevine wreath. Attach the small stuffed bears on the wreath first so that you will have an idea what else to put and where to give it an elegant look. You can glue a small piece of wood onto the wreath to fix the bear onto the wreath. Fix the bear in such a way that it doesn't fall off the wreath.

Step 2: Fix the pumpkins onto the wreath by gluing them well so that they don't fall off.

Step 3: Fix the sunflowers all around the wreath in a way that it gives a very decent look. If you want you can use other flowers along with the sunflowers. But then, you need to pay extra attention to the color combination.

Step 4: Give final touches by using the ribbons. Make some of the beautiful bows all along the circumference of the wreath or you can make one large bow.

You are now ready with your beautiful Thanksgiving wreath. Place it on your entrance to greet your special Thanksgiving guests.

Celebrating “It” in a different way :

Thanksgiving has always been a joyous celebration. We always go on talking about our family, friends and loved ones. But I was wondering why do we forget our senior citizens, the needy and the unprivileged. This year I have thought of spending this occasion with these people. Bring in some joy in their lives. Do you also want to make a difference with your little touch? I am thinking of transforming my house this year as Orphan Holiday House. On 23rd November I have planned out a football match for them. It will be a wonderful time. Playing with them will be a merriment but most of the time want to sit back on that cane chair in the lawn and enjoy watching the football game and stuff my face until I can no long move my legs and fall on my back ultimately in a turtle syndrome. But my spirit will not fade away with this, still I will be cheering the children with my family members. Have a feast of time with a Turkey dipped in chocolate sauce and onion-garlic stuffing. The children will love it. Gifting them with presents and chocolate is my mom's idea. She loves to be with children always. And I am also not an exceptional. So guys and gals why wait.....celebrate this Thanksgiving in a unique and true style!

Thanksgiving Songs

Thanksgiving songs are just as much a joy to recite as they are to sing. Here is one for you to hum or share. This apt song of Thanksgiving is based on Martin Rinkart’s Ecclesiasticus 50:22-24 and was translated by Catherine Winkworth.

Now Thank We All our God


Now thank we all our God,
With heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers' arms
Has blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

O may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us still in grace,
And guide us when perplexed;
And free us from all ills,
In this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given;
The Son, and him who reigns
With them in highest heaven;
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heaven adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

Thanksgiving Tit-Bits

“Elementary, my dear Watson” – is what Sherlok Homes used to tell his assistant – Dr. Watson. Its astonishingly true how the elementary things often escape our senses and elude our memory. While we all have a splashing time during the holidays very few of us care to remember the little tit-bits that often accompany us through the day. For example while we all remember what we had for dinner last Thanksgiving, I doubt how many would remember what they said just before starting dinner or what was the first word they uttered when they got into the car.

Here are few interesting tit-bits I found on the net about Thanksgiving.

While most of us (59%) would prefer to stay at home on Thanksgiving, those hitting the road anticipate the following to be the most uttered phrase on their way to Thanksgiving Dinner –

i) “Are we there yet?” (57%)
ii) “Slow Down” (21%)
iii) “Do you know where you are going?” (11%) (BEWARE!!! This is a dangerous question. If you happen to be on the hearing side of this statement, take guard. This might be the lull before the storm)
iv) “Could you drive faster?” (7%) (This is dangerous again, only a little bit less than the previous one)
v) “You missed the turn” (4%)


For those who prefer to stay back at home here’s what they do after Thanksgiving Dinner

i) Only 10% take post turkey naps.
ii) 60% of women clean up right away
iii) 42% of men head straight for the TV.

Thanksgiving Crafts for Kids

Here are a few Thanksgiving Crafts for Kids ( courtesy dltk-holidays.com )

Making Fall Leaf Turkeys

This simple craft is made with natural materials (leaves and a pinecone.)

Materials Needed:
Fall leaves
pinecone
eyes (wiggly or paper)
paper
glue
scissors

Instructions:Go outside and collect autumn leaves and a pinecone (this is LOADS of fun, especially if it requires a trip to a park!)
OPTIONAL: You can press the leaves for a few days before making the craft. This will help keep them from getting crunchy. We didn't do this for ours (we've had it about 2 weeks now and it still looks fine)
Glue the leaves onto a piece of paper in a fan shape. Younger kids won't get a nice fan, but they'll still have lots of fun gluing!
Glue the pinecone onto the bottom of the fan (use lots of glue)
Make eyes from a scrap piece of paper and markers or use wiggly eyes. Glue them to the pinecone.
Make an orange beak and a red wobbler from felt, construction paper or white paper and markers. Glue them onto the pinecone.
Let dry and hang up!

Thanksgiving Games

Send This As Ecard

The biggest Thanksgiving tradition and the most cherished game of the holiday is the Thanksgiving football. And it’s more than impossible to think of today’s Thanksgiving without the football games held all over America.
In a way, Thanksgiving has become synonymous with football. Antiquity has instances where harvest festivals were celebrated with games and sports. But Thanksgiving Day football is a very recent invention. It came into popular practice only in the 20th century. The traditional football game of Thanksgiving Day was usually held between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. But now, the Thanksgiving Day is not just confined to football—it’s jam-packed with actions and numerous other games that are sure to keep your adrenalin running high all day through ! History has it that it started in 1876, the year the Intercollegiate Football Association was set up. The championship game of this association was held on the Thanksgiving Day. And by another decade or two, Thanksgiving holiday was announced to be the official day for watching football games.
Numerous such football games were held all over America and reaped huge amounts after each Thanksgiving game of football every year. Evidently, the sportsmen earned huge revenue from this traditional Thanksgiving game—football. In the past decades, watching the Detroit Lions play the Green Bay Packers has become so much a part of the Thanksgiving tradition that all activities came to a halt till the game was over.
