Don't be intimidated by a turkey!

Turkey is, let's face it, one very, very large bird. The sheer size of it is enough to put even the bravest of cooks off.

However, no Thanksgiving meal or Christmas dinner is complete without it. Yes there are the trimmings, the mashed potato, yams, brussels sprouts in sage and butter, but none of them make as big an impression on the guests as that glorious golden stuffed bird does.
