Here's some Turkey tips!
~THAW! Don't forget to plan ahead. Your frozen turkey needs 1 day in the fridge for every 4lbs of turkey. So if you have a 12lb turkey you should refrigerate for 3 days.
~What size turkey should you buy? If you are buying a whole turkey you should plan on 1 pound per person.
~Should you really baste? Basting can help your turkey brown evenly, but it is not really necessary. There is very little evidence that basting makes the turkey "juicier". Actually, frequent basting means having to open the oven door frequently which will lower the oven temperature and can prolong your cooking time.
~What is the best way to take a turkey's temperature? Either a probe or a standard thermometer is best, but make sure to stick it in the thickest part of the thigh next to where the breast begins.
