Fresh or Frozen? Is stuffing a turkey safe? All these questions can be found at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA).

Let's Talk Turkey
The USDA encourages calls, "Cooks taking on turkey preparation are just a phone call away from advice at the USDA meat and poultry hotline, 1-888-MPHOTLINE (1-888-674-6854). The hotline operates Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET, and will operate on Thanksgiving Day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET. Consumers can also "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day, at AskKaren.gov."

How Much Turkey Do You Need? For fresh or frozen turkeys, figure on 1 pound of turkey per person. If you want leftovers, add a few extra pounds to the total.
How To Roast a Turkey – Don't forget to remove the giblets, neck and liver from the turkey cavities before roasting. Don't throw them away if you want to make your own giblet gravy. For complete directions on roasting and thawing a turkey, please go to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA).
