How to cook a Thanksgiving turkey!

I love to ask kids questions because you just never know what they will say!  What better question to ask this time of year than "how do you cook a Thanksgiving turkey"!  I had to give the kids a few prompts: where do you get a turkey, how do you cook it, how long, then what, and then I asked who cooks the best turkey that you have ever had.  The Cafeteria served turkey today for lunch so I'm afraid that it may have swayed a few answers!
