Burning Question: At What Temperature Is a Turkey Cooked?
No matter what kind of turkey you'll be having this year, there's one question you'll need the answer to: What temperature does a turkey need to reach in order be considered "done"?
Until last year, the USDA recommended cooking turkey to an internal temperature of 180ºF. But based on the fact that bacteria threat salmonella cannot withstand temperatures of 160ºF after 30 seconds, the FDA now suggests a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF as measured by a food thermometer in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast.
Photos of Turkey
I know that this may have nothing to do with Ancient History but I am very excited about these photos from Yusuf Tuvi! He's a famous Turkish photographer that travels around the world to catch the beauties of everyday life. These are some of his photos of Turkey.Cappadocia, Turkey
Words taken from Wikpedia: Photos are taken off Internet: (Personal photos were not included) In ancient geography, Cappadocia (or Capadocia) (from Persian: Katpatuka meaning "the land of beautiful horses"[citation needed], Greek: Καππαδοκία; see also List of traditional Greek place names; Turkish Kapadokya) was an extensive inland district of Asia Minor (modern Turkey). In the time of Herodotus the Cappadocians occupied the whole region from Mount Taurus to the Euxine (Black Sea). Cappadocia, in this sense, was bounded in the south by the chain of Mount Taurus, to the east by the Euphrates, north by Pontus, and west vaguely by the great central salt lake.How To Make A Turkey Shoe (With Video)

Thankgiving Myth: Turkey Makes You Sleepy
There are a couple of myths told each year at my house on Thanksgiving. One is that Uncle Lou will finally get the hint by Friday afternoon that he's overstayed his welcome and will leave without swiping most of the leftovers. The other is that there's a natural chemical in turkey called tryptophan that makes you sleepy after the Thanksgiving meal.Slow Cooker Tex-Mex Turkey Wraps
One of the great things about a slow cooker (or crock pot, as it's sometimes called), is that it's a versatile kitchen item. Everyone might not agree, but here's the thing: a slow cooker can be used to feed two, a family, or even a crowd.
Add that fact to the simplicity of using it and is it any wonder that I love mine so much?
