Are you hosting a smaller crowd? If you’re cooking for two to four people, don’t buy the whole turkey!

Unless somebody adores dark meat, you can get away with buying a turkey breast.

That’s it! You’re halfway through the ten tips. See you back for Tip #6.  And grab a snack, because that’s what we’ll be talking about.
