TO POOR MUMS:

A 16-POUND TURKEY CAN TAKE SIX HOURS OF BAKING TIME, IF THAWED, WITH ANY STUFFING IN THE CAVITY. TRY TO GET A THAWED, TURKEY BREAST INSTEAD, OR SOMETHING PRE-COOKED, THAWED, IF YOU WANT AN EASIER, QUICKER PROCESS.

***IF IT SEEMS TOO MUCH, TRY THAWED, ORGANIC, LAMB CHOPS ON THE STOVETOP, OR ROASTED DUCK/CORNISH GAME HENS INSTEAD. A DUCKSGIVING IS TOTALLY FINE ALSO. CORNISH GAME HENS ARE WONDERFUL, BECAUSE YOU CAN EASILY PLATE THEM AND REDUCE CARVING TIME.***

FOR ADULTS, CALCULATE TWO CORNISH GAME HENS, PER PLATE. INSTEAD OF TURKEY STUFFING, INSTANT COUSCOUS, AND FRESH, ORGANIC, TABBOULEH SALAD CAN BE BETTER.

AN APPETIZER OF PROSCIUTTO, WRAPPED AROUND FRESH, ORGANIC FIGS, FRESH MELON CHUNKS, AND PASTEURIZED, ROMANO/PARMESAN/ASIAGO/PECORINO CHEESE CHUNKS ARE WONDERFUL. GOAT CHEESES ARE VERY GAMEY, AND AN AQUIRED TASTE. STICK TO PASTEURIZED, ORGANIC, COWS'-MILK CHEESES.

***THOSE ARE VERY SALTY CHEESES, SO ORGANIC, REDUCED-SODIUM CHEESE CHUNKS, DRIZZLED IN ORGANIC HONEY ARE BEST, STUFFED INTO FRESH FIGS, THEN WRAPPED WITH A SLICE OF PROSCIUTTO. CHILDREN UNDER FIVE SHOULD NOT HAVE HONEY, DUE TO BOTULISM POISONING RISKS.***
