If you are going to roast a turkey, do not baste it. That's right. Do not open the oven door. Put the bird inside, set a timer and forget about it until the timer goes off.

Everytime you open the oven door to baste, it increases the cooking time because the bird gets cooler and so does the oven. Not to mention that when you baste the juices don't get past the skin.

As far as deep frying, you sure do get some tasty birds that way. But the green way it's not, the amount of energy to create all that oil is very high.

Celebrate by killing billions of innocent animals - What is wrong with you people! Really think about it, how can you celebrate at the death of so many innocent animals.

Do people honestly think that by eating dead animals, you can have more fun? and eating the skin of animals will bond them more with their families?

Sad, really sad!

the silliness. I applaud those who choose to be vegetarians or vegans. But let's make one thing clear, either of these choices are only fairly recent possibilities. Humans have had to rely on the meat of animals for most of their existence.

We have today a diverse variety of vegetables, nuts and seeds that can sustain a vegetarian/vegan, but that did not become possible until humans started traveling to different continents and exchanging plants.

I'm an organic vegetable farmer and life is life. Prejudice is what distinguishes animals from plants. Both are equally worthy.

Buck the trend!!  Try a tofurkey or other delicious vegan meal for Thanksgiving.  
Better for you, the environment... and the turkeys!!
