I find that even people who are not regular blog followers will seek out recipes, tips and advice for Thanksgiving menus.  (I am no exception either.)  It's the one holiday where the food takes center stage and everyone wants to present their very best recipes to their guests.   It's no wonder that we look to the internet for inspiration for our Thanksgiving meal.    

If you're a regular follower or just a curious Thanksgiving browser who happened to land on my website - welcome.  I hope that you will take a minute to browse my step by step illustrated Tuscan turkey recipe and then sign up to follow my blog on Facebook or email.  (or both)  

If you have any questions about your Thanksgiving turkey, feel free to leave me a comment.  I'll do my best to get your questions answered as quickly as possible.
