How to Cook a Turkey
by by Friend Miss Westover’s 1st Grade Class 2008

She individually pulled each child to write their responses. She told them she needed to know how to make a turkey for thanksgiving and need instructions.

Maria –I have to go to the store and buy a turkey. Go home and cook it. Take a few bones out. That is what we have to do in my family. Cook it for 20 min. Let it cool down. That is all I know. And then you eat it. Then you dig in!

Ian – Kill it. Take off a turkey’s head. Then walk for a while. Then you cook it. Put it in the oven. Take it out of the oven and then eat it.

Josiah – Go get one. And then I could bake it in the oven. I could put it on the pan or something. And then just turn the little thing and warm it up. And then take it out. Then we put it on the table and eat it. I don’t really know how to cook a turkey.

Bradley – Find one. Bake it. Put it in the oven for 50 degrees for 1 hour. I don’t know.

Ciara- Go to the store and buy a turkey. Then go home and cook it and stuff it up and stuff. Sometimes you put vegetables and sometimes you put sauce on it.
Lauryn – I don’t know. You cook it. Put it in the oven. Your supposed to know everything.

Annalynn – You need leaves to go on him. And the head and the body. You could put it in a microwave for 20 seconds. Then you can eat it.

Isabelle – I’ve never made one before, but you could buy it at the store. I guess however you want. And then you eat it for Thanksgiving. You take another kind of meat and mix it together. You have to put it on for like 25 min. probably.

Riley – I forgot. Wash it out. Squirt some stuff in it. You put it in the oven. Cook it for 23 hrs. Then stuff it. Eat it.

Shayla – Get one at the grocery store. Put it in the pan. Make the oven a little bit hot. Cook it until the beeper comes off. Then you check it. Then you put it on plates. Eat it with a fork.

Zachary - First you cool it down. You put it the oven. Like a one and a six (temperature). Cook it for twenty hours. Take it out and eat. (What do you put on it?) Like fruit.

Brendan – Turn on the stove. Put like salt on it. For Thanksgiving at your grandpas we had salt on it. Then just wait until it’s all done. Needs to be a little hot in the oven. Put it on a plate.

Jazmyn – My grandma makes it. I think she just already has it at her house. Then she cooks. It has to be a little bit hot. Cook it maybe one or two minutes. Eat on a plate. And then I gently put my plate in the sink. Then we eat pie like blueberry, strawberry, pumpkin, lemon kind. I mostly like pumpkin.
