@177milkstreet: What’s the key to a stress-free Thanksgiving? Knowing what to buy! Milk Street Cooking School’s assistant director of education, April Dodd, shares 5 Turkey Day shopping tips that will take the guesswork out of your meal prep, in partnership with @wholefoodsmarket. * The best part of Thanksgiving isn’t the dinner, it’s the leftovers. When shopping for your bird, aim for 2 pounds of turkey per person. * The difference between air-chilled and water-chilled is simple: Was air or water used to cool down the turkey after processing? It all comes down to preference, but April finds an air-chilled turkey has a better density of flavor. * Stay in control! Buying an un-treated turkey ensures you can season the meat exactly how you like it. * There’s not much difference between a fresh or frozen turkey; choose the option that works best with your schedule. * Thawing a frozen turkey is a marathon, not a sprint. Aim for about one day of thaw time in the fridge per 5 pounds of bird. Bonus tip: Plan ahead! Whole Foods makes it easy to pre-order your turkey (and whatever else you need) to make Thanksgiving Day a little less intimidating.
