Video Report: Former White House Chef shares top
tips for a simple, yet elegant holiday dinner
November 2005 (Medialink) -- Want
to set your Thanksgiving dinner apart from the rest but
still have time to enjoy the company of family and friends?
According to the National Turkey Federation, 97% of
Americans eat turkey at Thanksgiving. Yet, many cooks,
especially new ones, struggle with how to orchestrate the
perfect turkey, timed right with just the right side items.
Cooks' fears range from not having enough turkey to serving
turkey that tastes like cardboard.
Did you know?
* You should figure to buy at
least two pounds of turkey per guest - This allows for
second helpings and some leftovers.
* Savory rubs and rich glazes -
added at different stages of preparation - are a way to give
your turkey a new twist.
* Cooking a turkey doesn't have to
be difficult. Sometimes the best results come from simpler
techniques.
