A dish made of Turkey meat is vital in any thanksgiving party or you can even say that thanksgiving party is incomplete without a turkey dish. As turkey forms the table center piece for the thanksgiving party, choosing the right turkey for thanksgiving party is a critical job.
Turkey meat is available both in frozen as well as fresh forms as well as in basted or un-basted form. Basted turkeys are injected with a sodium based solution and provide excellent taste as compared to un-basted turkey. If you are choosing un-basted turkey, soak it in brine solution for few hours just before cooking to get good taste.
If you are buying fresh turkey, ensure that there is no discoloration of the turkey and not part of turkey is frozen. Buy turkeys from approved and quality shops and each guest would require about 0.75 pounds of turkey; hence calculate the quantum of turkey required based on the number of your guests prior to purchase.
