Common Thanksgiving Turkey Emergencies  

Hopefully you won't need these tips this Thanksgiving, but a lot will be riding on the big bird. So, just in case, here's some advice for what to do if one of these scenarios happen.

1. The turkey is done too early.
Cover the turkey loosely with foil, and set it in a warm spot. Rejoice: You'll have time to make the gravy without the usual last-minute pressure.

2. It's taking too long.
Raise the oven temperature, and roast until the breast is done. Cut off the legs and thighs, return them to the oven, and serve the white meat while the dark meat continues to cook.

3. It's browning too fast.
Cover the turkey loosely with foil.

6. The serving plate could use a little dressing up.
Pomegranates, oranges, pears, grapes, and bunches of fresh herbs will make a platter of turkey look like a masterpiece.

7. The oven has stopped working.
Cut the turkey into large pieces, and cook it on top of the stove in a covered Dutch oven or a couple of covered skillets.
