With autumn quickly approaching, one of my favorite holidays is near; Thanksgiving. And nothing says thanksgiving more than turkey but you need some time tested Thanksgiving turkey recipes that will help turn that ordinary turkey into a great turkey.

There are numerous ways to cook a turkey and many Thanksgiving turkey recipes to choose from. You have the traditional all day in the oven turkey recipe to more modern recipes like deep fried turkey and smoked turkey. There are assorted recipes, basting, rubs and marinades that you can use in your Thanksgiving turkey recipes. All have their own pros and cons depending upon what equipment you have and what flavor and texture you are striving for.

One thing to keep in mind is that no matter what method you use to cook your Thanksgiving turkey, it will continue to cook for an extra few minutes after you remove it from the heat source. This important step can be the deciding factor between having moist flavorful Thanksgiving turkey and dry flavorless Thanksgiving turkey.

There are many resources for you to find Thanksgiving turkey recipes for just about any method of cooking a turkey that you want to have for your holiday and we hope to be one of your favorites. Be sure to bookmark us and check back often.
