Quayde Gill, son of Brent and Emily Gill “Buy a big turkey, like a 50 pound one. You have to put a bunch of seasonings on it ... oh, and a little lemon juice too. Then you cook it for about 15 minutes with your stove on about 50 degrees. But you can’t take it out and eat it until the turkey beeps. That’s how you know when it’s done.”
Josie Fiddler, daughter of Just and Jordan Fiddler. “Buy a turkey and soak it in water until it’s soft. You have to boil it and then cut the turkey out of the bag. After that, boil it some more - like a long time - and put on seasoning and stuff. You take it out when it’s ready in like, I don’t know, a couple of minutes”
Crawford Maher, son of Pat and Kasey Maher “Buy a turkey, but look at the expire date first. You’ll need at least a 5-pound turkey if you have four or five people. You grill it like steak for two to three hours at 350 and then you lower it to 250 and you keep lowering it until it’s ready, but if you want it crispy you just keep it at 250.”
Kiernan Biegler, daughter of Hunter and Tiffany Smith “Buy a turkey and put it in the sink for a while. You have to put seasonings and stuff on it and then you cook it for about 20 minutes, I think, on high degrees. Maybe 15 minutes. When the thing pops out of its butt it means the turkey is done and you can eat it.”
Jeremiah Mellette, son of JoAnn Ducheneaux and Ellissa Mellette “Buy a really big turkey at the grocery store and you bake it in your stove for a couple of minutes at 100 degrees. You have to be careful though because turkeys don’t like to be burned. When it starts to smell really good that means it’s done.”
