Hoosac Valley Kindergartners on 'How to Make a Thanksgiving Turkey'
ADAMS, Mass. — Hoosac Valley elementary kindergartners tapped into their inner culinary genius to share some tips on how to properly cook a Thanksgiving turkey.
Cooking times ranged from "some minutes" to a couple of days. Although some students recommended using a microwave, most gave detailed instructions on how to cook a turkey in the oven.
Recommendations for cooking temperatures were between 2 degrees Fahrenheit, warm, very hot and 20 percent heat.
Some students offered some insight on where to find a turkey (the store, bookstore, the park, farm, forest, etc.) while others provided some welcome additions to the recipe including milk, chicken, chips, hot sauce and bacon.
Students recommend that you take a nap after you finish your Thanksgiving meal.
