Turkey is traditionally center-table at the Thanksgiving meal, with the excitement of the fall holiday gathering for this year’s November 28 observance. The National Turkey Federation has gathered online resources to help plan the meal, select the turkey and prepare for cooking, plating, and leftovers. Bake, grill, smoke or deep-fry your turkey with the help of the National Turkey Federation’s website, EatTurkey.com/Thanksgivingwhere along with the food, there’s also a little history available – the Pilgrim’s First Thanksgiving, as well as presenting the National Thanksgiving Turkey to every president since Truman.
