2vote A little Thanksgiving humor, brought to you by the 2nd graders at the elementary school in regard to Turkey cooking time and how long to cook a Thanksgiving Turkey.

When asked how to prepare a turkey dinner, a class of 2nd graders provided the following strategies:

- Get a turkey from the store. Put it in the microwave. Cook it for four minutes. Feel it to see if it's hot or cold. Have potatoes. Put them in the oven for a little bit, like 3 minutes. Have those crunchy sticks filled with chocolate for dessert. Have some drinks, like milk and water. That's a lot of stuff.

- First you go and buy the turkey from the store. Put it in the oven. Set the oven at 400 degrees. Cook it for an hour. Make mashed potatoes. To make gravy, put the mix and some water in a pan. Have sparkling cider. Set the table with plates, napkins and silverware.

- Stuff the turkey with stuffing. Stuffing is made of green onions and small pieces of potatoes, and some green stuff. Green pepper, maybe? That's pretty much how my mom makes the stuffing. Put it in the stove for at least four or five minutes. Make mashed potatoes with gravy, biscuits, and this dessert. I think it's called crab cake. We usually have Sprite for soda, but my sisters like orange Kool-Aid.

- Make mashed potatoes and rolls. Put the turkey in an oven. Set it at nine degrees. It takes like half an hour to cook. Make more food, like hot dogs and sausage. Get a tablecloth and set the table. Have cherry pie for dessert. That's MY favorite dessert.

- Put it in the oven. Leave it sit for awhile, like 20 minutes. The oven should be at 15 degrees. Make mashed potatoes, rice, and chicken. Have water to drink. Decorate your house with Thanksgiving lights. Maybe you could have pop to drink.

- Hunt the turkey, or buy it. Put it in water. Put some lemons in it. Take it out. Dry it (of course). Grill it in the stove for half an hour on "Medium." Put the stuffing in it. Make it out of rice and Russian meat. Put some Russian mayonnaise on it. Put it in the turkey. Put it on the plate and put it on the table. Have some pyrogies and potatoes. Have cake for dessert. And ice cream. Decorate your house with turkeys.

- You need to go get the turkey at the store. Stuff it with stuffing. If you don't have stuffing, use potatoes. Have some fruit and vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, celery and carrots. Lettuce, too. You should have some meat, like roast beef, steak and salt horse. Have something to drink, like water and wine. Beer, too. Put some candles up.

- Put the turkey in a pan. Turn the stove on kind of in the middle, like 20 degrees. Start cooking the turkey. Cook it for five minutes. Make stuffing, and pumpkin pie. Make the stuffing out of tomatoes. Make Jell-O. You should put chocolate chips in the pumpkin pie. Put whipped cream on it.

- Go to a store to find a turkey. Put it in a pan and cook it up for thirty or four minutes. Set the oven at "Hot-Hot." Make stuffing. Get some rice and get some meat and mix it up. Make a roast. It's easy. Get some potatoes, carrots and put the roast in the middle. Have a smoothie for dessert. Get a cornucopia for the center of the table. Decorate your chairs with ribbons.

- Cook it on the stove. Heat the stove up so the turkey can cook. Heat it up to 20 degrees. It takes 20 minutes. Get the mashed potatoes ready. Cook the gravy for it. It's made from salt, water and brown dye. Have cranberries, sweet mashed potatoes, and some biscuits. Have pumpkin pie for dessert. Be sure to have some butter for the biscuits.

- You should go to Safeway to get a turkey. Cook it on the stove. Turn it on to really, really hot, like 50 degrees. It takes three and a half hours to cook. Make something to eat with it, like green bean casserole and mashed potatoes.

- Okay. Put it in the oven for about half an hour. Set the oven on "Medium." If that doesn't work out, try "Low." Make cranberry sauce. Take a piece of turkey and dunk it in cranberry sauce. It tastes really good. Make mashed potatoes and gravy. Gravy is made out of salt and powder. Mix them both together and put a lot of hot water in them. Put it on the stove for about 5-20 minutes. The setting is on "Low." It's been a long time since I made a turkey dinner. The pie that my family loves is cranberry pie. Take the cranberries. Take that thing that you mash potatoes. Be sure to wash it first, of course. Mash them until they're a liquid. Let them sit for a little while in the fridge, until they're semi-cold. Make the dough. Take it and put it in a pie-shaped pan. Take the cranberry sauce out and pour it in until it's semi-full. Do some more dough on top and pop it in the oven for an hour. Set it on "Medium." Drinks. My family loves pop and apple juice. We make that ourselves. Take some apples. Take the stem out. Smash the apples. Let it sit in the fridge to make it semi-cold, like the cranberries. Pour the juice into the bowl. Put a couple of doses of sugar in. Mix them all together. Sip it. When it tastes really sweet, make a couple of jugs of it. We like biscuits, too. If it doesn't work out, it's because I haven't made dinner in a long time.

- You need to get a turkey. Cook it in the oven for 13 minutes. Cook mashed potatoes and salad. Dust some things before the company comes over, and put some flowers on the table. - Find a turkey in the forest. Shoot it. Bake it for half an hour. Make corn, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. It's made out of bread and vegetables. Set the table. Have pumpkin pie and ice cream for dessert.

- You can buy a turkey or you can hunt for a turkey. Put stuffing in it. Stuffing is cotton balls. It's squishy. You can put it in the oven. Set the oven at 20 degrees. Cook it for half an hour. Make mashed potatoes, rice, and rolls. You can set up the table. Put all the dishes on the table so they're all ready. Take the turkey out of the oven. It's done when it's white-brown and dark brown. Taste it and see if it's delicious.

- Buy a turkey. Go home and cook it for a minimum of 10 minutes. The oven should be… not that cold. Put the stove on "Hot," about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Make potatoes, gravy and corn. When you cook it, don't put it on "Boiling Hot."

- You should find a turkey at a farm. Kill it, and skin it. Cut all the fat off of it. Slice it up, and then you can eat it. But first you have to warm it up. Warm it up in the microwave for about one minute. Make the table and take the turkey out. Make the sauce to go on it… gravy! Have buns frosted with icing. Maybe make some beans and corn, too.

- Go buy a turkey at the store. Pay for it. Take it home and put it in the oven. But first make a hole in it and get out all the yucky blood. Put the stuff that you eat in the hole. It's made with bread. The colors can be green or yellow or brown. Stuffing! Put it in the oven for an hour or four hours. Set it at 6 degrees. When it's done and it beeps, take it out. Let it cool. You should make turnips, mashed potatoes, and gravy. Gravy is made out of cinnamon. Have pumpkin pie or apple pie. Have apple cider to drink. - Source: felipebeach.wordpress.com
How to cook a turkey?





Students in Mrs. Parham's Kindergarten Class at Sallie Cone Elementary explain how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey.

Austin: You have to hunt it down and kill it before you eat it. Then you bring it home. You have to pull the stuff out of it first, the stuff that was in it. Salt goes on it before you cook it. Pepper. Seasoning. Icing! Turkey icing it has stuff that makes it good, not sure what though. You, oh, you put a needle in it to cook and you tie it up. You can cook it in the stove. The temperature has to be 30 for, probably, 40 seconds. Take it out of the oven. Put some more salt and pepper on it. It will be shiny. Some turkeys can be brown, that's a good thing but they are cool and have to be warmed up. Some can be white and that's good too, these are kind of warm. Some can be black, those are kind of hot. I'd put some vanilla icing and some chocolate icing on it before I start eating it!

Bryce: Hmmmm Sometimes I put cheese on mine. Yeah, I put cheese! What else? Sometimes you can put like seasoning on it and stuff on it. I'm not sure about how long you cook it well, either 5 hours or 4 hours. And, in the oven, about 1 degree. You put it in the oven and you cut it. Sometimes you can roast it. We eat with my fork or bite it from fingers. I eat it at a table in the kitchen. There are kids and grown-ups that sit there. Sometimes I say the blessing; sometimes my Mom helps me say it. I don't remember ever being to Thanksgiving. Probably, it will be fun!

Mykayla: The first thing you need is a turkey! Salt and pepper go on it. You can cook it in the oven. Take the turkey out of the oven and salt and pepper on it again. When you do that then you can eat it! You taste it and that's all. We eat our dinner at home. My Mommy and Daddy, my sisters and my brother, they are all there!

Drake: You cook it in the pan. Let's see pepper and salt. You put that on there when it's too hot and it cools down your food. We can put on some, like, salt. You get it out of the cabinet. And we have a salt and pepper package in our cabinet. We use to put it outside to eat it. You cut it up and put it on the table. Just use plain dishes. When it's hot you need something to drink. My Mom goes to get me something to drink when the turkey is too hot. When we finish we get to go to the park and play in the park. Put it in the oven when you are ready to cook it. When it is done, the thing will beep and you know it's done. The oven has to be at 7, 30 degrees and you cook it for, until 10 o'clock. That's it.

Breylin: My Grandma cooked one before. I was sitting down waiting for her to cook my food and to thank for the food. You have to put I don't know what it's called. Oh! You probably put barbeque sauce, some ketchup and mustard on it. Put it in the stove. Take it out. Then you have it all big and then rip it up into little bitty pieces. Then I eat it!
Dylan: Put salt on it, you shake it on. The skin, you put that on too. You have to put the bones in it too. Let's see what makes a turkey taste good? Sugar! That goes on it too. I like a little salt on it. You put the red stuff in, I know that. I don't know what it is but it tastes like salt, yeah, salt. I know what goes on it. Like, you need sun, it makes it shiny. My Daddy brings a chicken home and he cooks it and leaves it in the sun to shine it! You cook it for like, well, my Daddy cooks it for 5 minutes. The oven has to be 3 hot. That's real hot! Take it out of the oven and you eat it!

Myshell: I put seasoning on it and then I put it in the stove. That's when it bakes. I use hot seasoning, 'cause I like my meat hot. Inside the turkey I put bell peppers. Then I take it back out of the stove. This is when all my family eats it! Oh, we eat it with macaroni and cheese.

The end!

Jared: We don't eat turkey a lot. I put salt on it! We cut it up. Then we cook it. We put it in a pan and we put the pan in the stove. I think we cook it for, about, 10 minutes. The oven is...it will be hot. There isn't a temperature. We just put it in there. Our turkey is shiny when we eat it. I think the sunshine makes it shiny because it's hot, so I think it's sweating and that makes it shiny. I don't know what else we eat it outside wherever I want to. My family is with me when I eat it. Oh, we get mashed potatoes and chicken too with it. And we get any kind of desert we want! I usually get a lot of corn dogs! That's my desert!

Josh B.: I tell you what; usually I'm always playing outside when my Mom is cooking it. So I don't really see what she is doing. Well, usually I go to my Papa and Granny's and my cousin comes over and we are doing something else! I would probably put some stuff on it to make it a little bit good. Stuff like I don't really know! Then I'd cut it. I would put salt on it. Well, grease. The grease makes it greasy, usually it's really greasy and that makes it slippery. That's part of what makes it taste good. You usually cook it for long time. Last week our grill was broke so we didn't grill anything. We got it fixed though. But we usually put it down in the oven. You leave it in the oven for, kind of, a little bit long but not too long. I usually do it at my Papa and Granny's. Well, we go on a walk before we eat it. We stay out for probably 1 hour and then come inside and eat it. I have that kind of corn that looks like it has a little bit of butter on it. Really though, I don't have desert with it. Sometimes I like the Thanksgiving turkey, but really only when it's greasy and good! Usually my Mom cooks everything and, well my Mom's always cooking on Monday's. She started first cooking and Daddy started second. Mommy's turkey is usually better!

Josh W.: Well, sometimes I, well, my Mom helps me. Basically, you put it in the oven and set it for 8. That's how I do it. Sometimes, I also do it it's easier to do it for 6. But usually I do it for 8 because it takes longer. You can do it for either one. You can use a lot of stuff on it. That's what Mom does. Sometimes, barbeque sauce makes it taste a little bit better. I like that! That's what we do, it's our secret. We put stuffing inside of it sometimes. The stuffing, we use, milk and I've got to start writing my recipes down because I'm forgetting! I know we use some seasoning on the top. We cut bread into little cubes and put that in the stuffing. That's how we do our turkeys. They do taste good. The oven has to be a little hot for 9 minutes. Then we put it on the table and eat.

Marisela: You need chickens to cook a turkey. I would make it with eggs. Toss the eggs around and my Mom says that makes the turkey sweet. Use sugar and chips too! Mix as this together and bake it. We put it on a tortilla. We also put some chicken in the microwave. Mix all this together and it makes the turkey bigger. We eat it with salad and ranch dressing. You have to cook the turkey for 5 days. I eat Thanksgiving with my family. We go to my sisters sometimes, she's a long way, and it's a long way to her house. We give to other people on Thanksgiving because you just do!

Meredith: I don't know how! Hmmmm, I would put some salt on it, some pepper, some bread, some sausage and some fish. That all goes on top of the turkey. It needs some sour patch kids on the bread. That's how my Mom makes a turkey! Then you put macaroni and cheese on top of it. I like popsicle tooI'm going to make a turkey sandwich and that's the nose. You can eat some Cheez-its with it too. It's okay if you cook it now. You cook it in the microwave and take it out. Leave it in the microwave to cook for 3 hours. Take it out after 4 hours, get it out. We eat it at a picnic and when we are done we go to the park. That's a good Thanksgiving!

Michael: You put it in the oven. Then you leave it in there for a little bit and then you take it out. You get a plate out and your chair and you eat it! I put some, a little bit of salt on it. Then I put, well I just eat it! It's good! I put meat inside of it. It kind of taste like food. I put neckbones in it, I like those. I would put some chocolate in there too! It tastes like chocolate chips. Oh, put some candy in it. That's because I like candy in it! I just like candy! You can dip it in milk like a cookie. That makes it taste good too. You cook it in the oven for a little bit. The oven is real hot, it can burn you. Leave it in there for 5 hours. I take it out and cut it in half and pieces. We give the bones to the dog because he really likes those. We say thank you for everything and then Amen and you eat!

Nykiyaah: Cook it! I would put a dress on it and it would be a girl wait, no, not to cook it! On a turkey I would eat, um, I would put butter on it. My Momma puts a little bit of sugar on it because it is good sugar. More butter and little bitty stars. You try a piece of it after you get it out of the oven. My Momma tries it with a little sugar on it. I like ice cream so I would put it in it. You cook the turkey for 6 minutes and the oven has to be hot. Take it out and put some ice cream with it and eat it! It's really good! That's how I do it! Oh, I drink juice with it.

Sarah: You put eggs on it. Hmmmm, I'm thinkingI would like Oreos on it. I'm just making that up! Butter! That goes on it. I think I should put more butter. Nothing else goes on it. My sister loves to put barbeque sauce on it, and I do too! But not the hot kind, the other kind. That sauce is what makes it tastes so good. I think my Mom cooks it for 30 minutes I think. The oven has to be 0 degrees, that's cold butwell, that won't cook it. It has to be hot. Well, 100 degrees should work. Then take it out of the oven and that's pretty much all. That's when you eat it!

Jaylan: I put strawberries on it to make it good. Then I put cheese and some grapes on it. Everybody can eat the grapes off of it. Oh, and I put hot sauce in it. It makes it more flavored. Then you cook it. Put it in the oven and then take it out. Cook it for about 8 minutes, the oven has to be really hot. When you take it out you put it on the stove and cut it up. All you're going to do is put plates out. Everybody gets a plate and you give the turkey to people. Then everybody is going to eat it!

Jade: I put salt, butter, milk on it. The milk makes it tastes a little good. The makes it tastes better too. Nothing goes inside it, not really. Put it in the oven. It's in there for, maybe, 12 minutes. Make the oven a little hot. We go to the park and play for a few minutes. Me and Momma and Daddy all go. It's real fun, I play and laugh. When it's done we come back home. Then we cook it again. Then it's done. We sit down at the table then we just eat it!

Savannah: First you get the meat and then put seasoning on it. Seasonings like black pepper and with some 'ranish', it's some seasoning stuff. That all goes on top of the turkey. Inside you put, like, its bones. There's meat there. It all goes in the pot you put it on. Then you put it in the oven. You cook it about 20 minutes. The oven has to be hot, like as hot as hot Cheetos. That's a little spicy hot. Put it on 10 30 hot. Then you take it out and you eat it. You eat it all in the living room and watch television. We watch football. We say a blessing and eat. That's it!

Erika: I want turkey soup. You put eggs, salt and salad with it. Vegetables in it too. Stir the soup on top of the stove. It needs to be cold, that's how I like it! Oh, and hot dogs go in soup too. Then I eat ketchup with it, I like that too! Eat some bacon with it. Then, for desert, cookies. Chocolate cookies are good. Then, just eat it!

Destiny: Well, I'm thinking really hard It goes in the oven maybe. You can put salt on it when you want to. And cheese when you want to. Take the skin off the hot dog and put hot dogs inside the turkey. I put macaroni and cheese on top of it. Put, get the hot things off the pizza and put those, sprinkle those on the top to make it a pizza but it will still be a turkey though. Oh, and put some candy inside and that makes it real good. The candy makes it taste like watermelon! The oven has to be just a little hot. You cook it for one minute. Take it out and put the bubble gum inside it and that makes it be hot enough. Then put it back in the oven and cook it again for 6 minutes. Take it out and put it on the counter, cut it up in little pieces, put it on a platedon't put it on the table cause it will make it dirty so you put it on a plate. Then eat it! It tastes good! get in the car and go visit my family in Toledo, Ohio. Grandma gets the turkey. My grandma puts the turkey in the oven for 30 hours. Grandma makes corn, mashed potatoes, cake and to drink we have Kool-Aid. ?Kayla Aaron

Then we go up north with our whole family and hunt down some more turkeys and do it all over again. ?Luke Haiser

I think we buy our turkey at Meijer. We invite my cousins and grandparents over. We eat dinner in the dining room. My Dad cooks the turkey on the grill. It takes an hour to cook. We eat peas and carrots and beef too. I like to go on the farm for Thanksgiving.

My Mom and I buy the turkey. She cooks it on the oven. It's steaming hot. I eat the legs. My Dad's mom comes to dinner. We eat rice with

it. After dinner I go on the computer and we drink our drinks. And I hug my Mom. And that's it. ?Briannah Selover

I helped my Dad cook the turkey. We looked in the woods and we shot the turkey. We put it in a pan and then we ripped the legs and the head off. We cooked it in the microwave. And then it was all done, so we invited my Dad's friends. My Thanksgiving was really good. I had thirds. I play outside and ride my bike after dinner. I had fancy clothes with a tie. ?Arian Wolak
