There are a couple of websites I find myself going back to year after year.  The first one,,,you may be familiar with their "Turkey Hotline" 

If you are in the middle of things, and need some assitance, you can always call 1-800-Butterball and they will walk you through it.

They have videos that show you how to roast, baste and slice.  Plus their FAQ's include questions about where to stick the thermometer,,, (not in any part of your irritating relatives anatomy, just so you know...)


I use this next one year round, but they are especially helpful for side dishes you might only make once a year so you can't remember a certain ingredient.  I like the recipe reviews people give, because they tell how it worked, how difficult it was and how they might have modified the recipe. (Click the logo to go to their webpage)

Lots of great dessert recipes here as well.  (Though Renel's Peach Cobbler recipe is not here,,,maybe we can get her to post it on the site before Christmas!  :)  )    I tried a Sweet Potato Pie with rum in it,,and I adjusted the rum upward...it was a little strong but gooood!
