Thanksgiving is here, and maybe your turkey is already thawing in the refrigerator. Please note—if you’re thawing it out on the kitchen counter, putting it in the fridge or a bucket of cold water is safer—you can take a quick look at the USDA’s guidelines for safe thawing.

However, if your style is more “last-minute,” and the bird has yet to be bought, or maybe you’re having a late celebration, consider splurging on an organic turkey. What it offers in both flavor and nutrition just may be worth the extra cost.
