Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Butternut squash soup with apple and bacon

    • eliza on December 16, 2022

      Very easy and delicious soup. Use a tart apple to work with the sweet squash. Reheats and freezes well.

  • Brined roast turkey with sage butter rub

    • chawkins on March 09, 2022

      Very good, turkey was flavorful and moist. The brine was much easier to make than my go-to roast turkey recipe, the Good Eats Roast Turkey from Alton Brown, which requires a vegetable broth. I only used 2/3 of the called-for butter in the rub and it was enough.

  • Red potatoes with onions, thyme and sherry vinegar

    • EdM on April 15, 2022

      Must have small potatoes halved and cooked with cut side down, as recipe says, not larger ones cut in quarters, or they'll dry out. Onions are a nice addition.

  • Sweet potato-russet potato gratin with horseradish and a Dijon crust

    • chawkins on February 21, 2022

      I doubled the amount of mustard and horseradish per the comments from the fine cooking community. I halved the recipe but used the same cooking time, so the gratin was a bit over cooked. Very assertive in flavor and not too rich. Great use for my home grown horseradish.

    • chawkins on January 07, 2023

      Made this again, halved the recipe and followed the recipe exactly this time except accidentally doubled the cheese in the crust. Turned out real well. Not overly cheesy.

Publishers Text

How to Cook a Turkey* is meant to be a holiday survival guide for a wide range of home cooks: first timers who have no idea where to even begin; more experienced cooks who, nonetheless, forget every year what temperature to cook their turkey at and for how long; and cooks of all levels who like the idea of having one compact holiday handbook of recipes and how-to information specific to their circumstances.


The book contains 100 recipes for everything from appetizers to desserts (including an entire chapter on pies), as well as lots of information on everything to do with turkeys (buying info, thawing times, oven temperatures, cook times), as well as on stuffing and making gravy.
