Butchers, chefs and a pitmaster weigh in on what makes the perfect Thanksgiving turkey
 
A lot is riding on the star of the Thanksgiving table. Stuffing, potatoes, squash, cranberry sauce and gravy are nothing without a succulent, crispy-skinned bird. As home cooks, it’s likely we’re only tasked with preparing a feast a few times each year, so performance anxiety is only natural. To lessen the fear, and better understand our options in both choosing and preparing turkeys, I spoke with butchers, chefs, a pitmaster and a registered dietitian about their personal preferences and best practices. It is a special meal after all, deserving of extra care and attention. You and your guests want it to be delicious.
