How to Cook a Turkey

For as long as we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving at Political Calculations, we’ve never once provided any information for doing the one thing most Americans’ Thanksgiving dinners depend upon. Cooking a turkey.

Sure, we’ve featured information on how to carve a turkey. We’ve twice featured information on how to avoid hurting yourself and others when cooking a turkey. And we’ve featured the Swedish Chef cooking a turkey, although to be fair, no turkey was actually cooked during that production.

So we’re going to rectify that situation today by featuring two videos that will take you through the process of cooking a turkey! But before we begin, let’s just say that if your turkey is still frozen rock solid, you should skip the videos and find out what restaurants might be open near you instead….

Our first featured video will take you through the basics of what you need to know about the full process of cooking a turkey in about 12 and a half minutes. Please be aware the process in real life takes much longer….

Our second video runs a little over eight minutes and features much of the same information, but is aimed for a slightly different audience. An audience that’s somewhat intimidated by not just cooking a turkey, but being judged for how well they might cook it.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and good luck with your turkey this year!

P.S. We’re not done with cooking tips, so check back in tomorrow for an idea of what to do with your Thanksgiving dinner leftovers!
