A cheesecloth soaked in butter saves you some of the hassle of constant basting, and a cranberry rope adds a colorful, make-ahead garnish to the final presentation.
If you have a smoker, this low-and-slow smoked turkey recipe from Myron Mixon is a hit any time—not just Thanksgiving. When you make it, you’ll see why.
The key to this set-it-and-forget-it Thanksgiving centerpiece is buying a bird in the Goldilocks-range of 14 to 16 pounds, which will feed at least 10 people.
This easy turkey gravy recipe uses the drippings from the bird (deglazed right in the roasting pan) to give you maximum flavor with just three ingredients.
