Andrea Correale from Celebrations.com has easy tips to help make your life a little simpler when it comes to making you Thanksgiving turkey.

Tips On How To Cook Your Turkey

1. While cooking your turkey, make sure you baste it with its natural juices every 15-20 minutes.

2. For best results, cook the bird at 350 degrees.

3. To know when your turkey is done cooking, purchase a thermometer and place in the center of the turkey's breast. When it reaches between 165 and 170 degrees, it's done.

4. It's better to cook the turkey in the oven alone earlier in the day and then leave it on top of the stove, covered. With the turkey out of the way, the oven will be free to heat up your side dishes easily.

5. Do not reheat the bird for dinner. Once your side dishes are hot and ready, be sure to reheat your gravy to make it warm. Carve the bird and then serve with gravy.
