If you’re in charge of the turkey this Thanksgiving, here’s a quick and easy way to make it perfect for the big debut at the table: truss it. With just a few twists of cooking string, you can create a bind that prevents overcooking and gives your turkey that perfect shape worthy of the cover of a food magazine. It’s easier than you think; just follow these turkey trussing how-tos from our test kitchen.
While trussing is not necessary, it can help it cook evenly and holds in juices. It also gives it that shape that will have your guests oohing and ahhing when you bring it to the table. Give it a try on this year’s turkey and see for yourself just how easy it is to do.
