There are many ways to cook everyone’s favorite holiday bird. Each family has its own special technique for cooking a turkey, whether it's using an old family recipe, adding a secret ingredient or shopping at a certain store in town that helps make the turkey taste all the better.

However, if you want to bake it yourself, we have a few recipes. If you're hosting Thanksgiving this year, you can try any of the recipes below to add a new kick to your feast.
