Turkey Thursday
The Elves at the North Pole are
Thankful
every day of the year. We love
our homes,the workshops,
and our jobs. We would not trade
for anything.
On the 4th Thursday of November
,the day you
call thanksgiving, we have Turkey
Day..The
start of the Christmas Holiday
season..We
have the day off to play and sing
and eat, and we love
to eat alot .Mrs Santa and the
kitchen elves add
some holiday magic into the dressing
when
they put it in the turkey. It is
a extra measure
of happiness and health and gives
us the ability to think fast
on our feet. We will be extra busy
for the next
few weeks and the magic helps us
enjoy
every minute of it.
Cooking on Thanksgiving Day
Our method should help you to produce
a truly tasty turkey with especially succulent breast meat.
If your turkey is trussed, it is
best to remove the string before cooking.
If you wish to stuff your turkey,
prepare your favourite stuffing recipe and fill the cavities .
You may like to put a large Bramley
apples or peeled onion around the body.
Sprinkle the bird with salt
and pepper then place it breast side down
(covered with foil if you prefer)
in a roasting tin.
The oven should be pre-heated to
230° / 450°f/ and the
bird cooked at this temperature
for 30 to 60 minutes depending on size,
before reducing the heat to 190°C
/ 375°F/
. About 30 minutes before the end
of cooking open the foil if used and turn the bird onto its back to brown
the breast.
Do try to avoid over-cooking. Test with a fork on the inside of the thigh – the bird is ready when the juices run clear.
After cooking, allow the turkey to rest for about 15 to 20 minutes, and then carve.
How much per person;
Whole Bird .... (1lb) per

It takes 112 big turkeys to make sure there is enough for Turkey day at the North Pole.
This is only a guide,
depending on how much you require for leftovers .

every single, lovely bite on Turkey day.
