Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving’s day is a traditional celebration in the United States and Canada. Originally, it was celebrated the last Thursday of November in the USA, but nowadays it takes place the fourth Thursday of November. Canada celebrates it the second Monday of October.
Its origin come from Europe. When the Europeans first arrived to America, they bring their traditions with them. They used to celebrate a good harvest having a big dinner. The first Thanksgiving’s dinner was in 1621, in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
What to have on Thanksgiving’s day?
Well, there are many things you can eat that day, because, normally, each member of the family brings something to eat; but the main plate is Roast Turkey!

How to make the Turkey?





To prepare the turkey for roasting, first remove the giblets. Next, rinse the bird inside and out and pat dry with paper towels.
If you are stuffing the bird, stuff it loosely.
After that, brush the skin with melted butter or oil.













Then, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. Finally,
place the bird on a rack in a roasting pan, and into a preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven.
Bake until the skin is a light golden color, and then cover loosely with a foil tent.
