It can be roasted, deep fried, barbecued or smoked, but a Thanksgiving meal isn't complete without some form of a turkey. It may seem easy, just pop it in the oven, right? Sadly, it's a bit more complicated than that and all kinds of things can go wrong. You could get the bird all ready to go and realize that it's too big for your oven or forget to thaw it out three days prior, and end up with a frozen bird.
In order to avoid a turkey disaster it's always a good idea to search out some tried and true recipes that have easy to follow step-by-step instructions. Cooking just a turkey breast is also a great option because not everyone needs to roast an entire 20 pound bird. When you have a small gathering (or a small oven!) a turkey breast is the way to go.
