- What’s the best way to prepare a Thanksgiving turkey

Sure! Here are two different ways to prepare a Thanksgiving turkey:

**Classic Roast Turkey**: First, make sure to thaw your turkey if it's frozen. Brine it overnight in a mix of water, salt, and some herbs for extra flavor. The next day, pat it dry, rub it all over with butter, and season it generously with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with aromatics like onion, garlic, and herbs. Roast it in a preheated oven at 325°F (about 165°C) until the internal temperature hits 165°F (75°C). Baste it every hour for that golden skin. Let it rest for about 30 minutes before carving, and you’re good to go!
