In anticipation of the upcoming Thanksgiving feast everyone is about to share with family and loved ones, Stephanie Bradley recently asked her first graders at J.K. Gourdin Elementary to share how they would go about preparing a turkey.
Bradley’s students seemed to very much agree that the absolute first thing one should do to a turkey is wash it. Then there is a good bit of poking, seasoning and massaging the bird – not necessarily in that order. Oven times may vary.
