You heat up the turkey in the oven for eight minutes and put mashed potatoes on it. I have a sugar-free Jolly Rancher for dessert. Just one.
- Bryce.
My mom puts it in the oven for 45 minutes. She puts a little bit of turkey sauce on it.
-Amelie
I have mashed potatoes and I have turkey but I also make some hamburgers because my dad likes them. Sometimes we get Easter because I read a book that it doesn’t matter what food you eat.
-Ariana
When you’re camping and all you have is tinfoil and a knife and then some fire, throw the knife and tackle the turkey. I’d like to take this big piece of foil and wrap it in there. You put it on the fire and you cook it for a minute or so. Unwrap it and cut it and put seasonings on it and then eat it. If you’re out in the woods you don’t eat it with a lot of things.
-Tristan
Mostly my parents buy the turkey and then put it in the oven for an hour or two. It’s really hot and you put on sauce.
-Tyden
My dad usually starts the stove and he puts this little thing in there where you can see how much it’s hot. I just eat it plain. I have ice cream for dessert.
-Nathan
We go to my cousin’s house and my aunt makes the turkey and I don’t know how she makes it because I’m usually playing with my sister and cousins. I think she buys a turkey and puts it in the oven. Sometimes we eat some fruit with it.
-Caroline
You buy the turkey at the store and then you cook it in your oven at 120 degrees. Put some sauce on it, this sauce you put on meat. You sprinkle it. I have lava cake for dessert.
-Sol
Get the turkey in the fields, you capture it. My dad cooks it in the oven for 10 minutes. Eat it with rice and strawberries.
-Summer
I don’t like eating turkey because I’m a vegetarian. I usually have tofu. We have mashed potatoes, roast beef, green beans, cranberries, and sometimes applesauce because it’s nice to have warm applesauce for Thanksgiving. Also apple cider.
-Neta
Cook it in the stove and then you get to eat it with other stuff for Thanksgiving. I do like the turkey skin. That’s the part I do like.
-Niko
You take a turkey and you cook it in the oven and eat it with sauce.
-Eli
Get a turkey in the forest, then you kill it and cook it up in the stove and eat it with mashed potatoes and beans.
-Maggie
Get a turkey from a grocery store, somewhere already made because my mom brought it home already made. Eat it with mashed potatoes and cranberries. Usually I have pumpkin pie or something.
-Magnus
My mom goes to cooking class and she’s in cooking class to learn how to work in a restaurant. She cooks it on the stove for 20 or 10 minutes. Last time I didn’t eat turkey though, I ate baby food.
-Kaili
You just cut the turkey and you bake it only an hour or two. You just put some starter water on it, that’s what I use. You eat it with mashed potatoes and some peas and corns and some bread and some cornbread and some banana bread and some butter.
-Ken
Well I never had one before. My mom does not make Thanksgiving dinner, we just have normal dinners. I always don’t have the turkey, I have a real meal like carrots, fruits, vegetables, real food not like turkey.
-Levi
You get a turkey from the forest. You put it in the oven for 23 minutes at hot temperature.

First you cook it and then you put barbecue sauce on it if you want to. You eat it with brownies.
-Millie
You put it in the oven something around like 15 minutes. You eat it with macaroni and cheese.

You put it in the oven, start the oven and then when it’s ready take it out and chop it up with a knife.
-Hoyt
Cook it in the oven and eat turkey with mashed potatoes and I think bread.
-Noelle
Cook it in a pan I think with a spoon and a fork. Eat it with chicken.
-Nolan
You get a turkey, you cook it and then you eat it with potatoes.
-Shaylee
Well the first way is to kill the turkey and eat it. The second way you can make a turkey is first buy the meat at the store and second put it in the oven for seven minutes.
-Scarlett
I don’t know how. I think you put it in the microwave. We eat it with pie.
-Molly
Somebody finds a turkey and they shoot it and they take all the feathers out. Then they cook it and take out the beak and leave the bones in. There’s some bones and little bit of wings. You take the bones out and eat the turkey.
-Danielle
Usually my mom makes it. We eat it with food on it.
-Aedan
You find a living turkey and then you shoot it. Then you put butter on it and put it in the oven and then you can eat it.
