We all know the turkey is the traditional star of the show for many Thanksgiving, but it can be a lot to take on. Join Chef Aarika as she takes on every turkey topic from trussing to deboning, to spatchcocking, to stuff or not to stuff, and flavoring that ideal crispy skin! He will also present elevated classic side dishes that your guests will ask you to make again and again! You will also learn the importance of how to plan out your holiday prep to allow you to join your guests for a pre-dinner cocktail rather than slaving over the meal in the kitchen.
