Hints for the Bird..........
* If you're using a frozen turkey, whatever you do, don't wait until the day before Thanksgiving to take it out of the freezer. Remember, frozen turkeys take at least three days to completely thaw.
* Got a big crowd coming over? Roast two smaller turkeys (12 pounds or less) instead of one large one. Smaller turkeys fit better in the fridge and roasting pan, plus they cook more quickly and evenly. Plus, it lets you experiment with two different types of preparations.
* When calculating your roasting time, plan on about 15 minutes per pound.
* Let your bird rest for a few minutes after you take it out of the oven. A good 20 minute nap will let everything settle and keep the moisture where it belongs: in the meat.
