If you have questions about how best to prepare your turkey, don’t call the Butterball hotline, consult the Modern Family Cook Book. No, not the TV show tie-in, but the 1829 Philadelphia cookbook.

The Modern Family Cook Book work has very clear instructions on how to cook your turkey; it will be done in only 75 minutes and should have a nice most breast, owing to the paper tied over the breast.
