November means it is time for Thanksgiving. There are many things to consider before setting off on your Thanksgiving baking adventure. Consider these tips before putting the bird into the oven:

• If you're buying a frozen turkey, allow enough time to completely thaw. If you purchased your frozen turkey early to avoid the grocery store frenzy, use it within seven months of purchasing.

• If opting for a fresh turkey, purchase no more than two days before you're planning to cook it.

• There are several ways to safely thaw your bird including - microwave, cold water method, or refrigerator. Never thaw food at room temperature. Just make sure that the temperature doesn't go above 40° F.

• Buy a meat thermometer! You can't always rely on the pop-up thermometer that is in the leg or check to see if the juices run clear.

• To brine or not to brine. If you're on team brine, you'll need to account for the brining time and use your meat thermometer to ensure your turkey is brining at a safe temperature of 40° F or less.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
