Ten ways to do a turkey

Since the little girls have gotten sick, we've been watching hours upon hours of the Food Network and drinking cans of ginger ale, aka nectar from the gods if you are four.

Here is a sampling of the ways we've seen the birdy prepared to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Deep-fried
Individual cornish hens stuffed
Turkey cutlets
Turkey under a brick
Turkey ravioli

Here is what they have made stuffing with-

Corn bread and sausage
Pumpkin muffins and zucchini
Cranberry muffins and onions
Cornbread, tomatoes and basil
Cornbread and oyster stuffing


It makes me long for the days that only PBS had cooking shows and Julia and Jacques Pepin would banter about the use of butter and how to debone a turkey.

Someone pour me another glass of gingerale, Alton Brown is about to teach me how to make the perfect gravy.
