A time to celebrate family, good friends, and great food. A time to take comfort in tra- dition. Nothing symbolizes Thanksgiving tradition better than the Thanksgiving turkey, says Heather Nahatchewitz of Turkey Farmers of Ontario. A golden, roasted turkey remains the star of most North Ameri- can Thanksgiving feasts and for good reason. Its delicious and its good for you, says Nahatchewitz. A 100 gram serving of roast- ed white turkey meat contains only 130 calories and one gram of fat, while packing an amaz- ing 30 grams of protein. So how can you ensure a mouth-watering, delicious turkey for Thanksgiving? Follow these instructions: Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C). If stuffi ng the turkey, do so while the oven is preheating. Spoon stuffi ng lightly into tur- key instead of packing because stuffi ng expands while cook- ing. (Allow a cup (125ml) of stuffi ng per pound (500g) of turkey.) Place turkey breast-side up on a rack in a shallow roast- ing pan. Insert meat thermometer in the deepest part of the inner thigh, but not touching the bone. Roast uncovered, or loosely covered with foil. If you choose to baste your turkey, limit the number of times you open and close your oven (once an hour is suffi cient!). Turkey is cooked when the meat thermometer reads 170 F (77 C) for an unstuffed turkey or 180 F (82 C) for a stuffed turkey, and the juices run clear. Remove turkey when cooking is completed and let stand 15 to 20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to set.
