Thanksgiving turkey in 8 easy steps

NORTH AMERICAN
PRECIS SYNDICATE
To help the bird you serve
get “gobbled up” this holiday
try these easy tips from “Fla-
vors of America” TV host and
cookbook author Chef Jim
Coleman and Chef’sChoice®.
These experts have teamed up
to take you through the process
of serving up the perfect bird,
including choosing, seasoning,
cooking and carving the turkey.
Choosing The
Turkey
n Step 1: When choosing
your turkey, allow 1.5 pounds
for each guest. For eight guests,
you’ll want at least a 12 lb. tur-
key. There will be ample left-
overs.
n Step 2: If you’re buying a
frozen turkey, allow 24 hours of
thawing for every four-to-five
pounds; a fresh turkey should
not sit more than 48 to 72 hours
before preparation.
n Hints: According to Cole-
man, there is no scientific evi-
dence that bird gender makes
a difference in quality or taste.
Environment and feed, how-
ever, can determine a taste dif-
ference.
Turkeys can be frozen up to
12 months. If you have a frozen
turkey from last year, it’s safe to
cook for this year’s feast if it has
remained frozen throughout
the year.
n Step 3: Flavor your tur-
key with Coleman’s “holiday
rub” (recipe for 12 lb. turkey).
Thanksgiving
Recipe:
The Holiday Rub
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh
thyme leaves (save stems)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh rose-
mary (save stems)
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage
(save stems)
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp. minced shallots
3 lemons
Mix all ingredients above,
set aside stems. Pepper to
taste.
Step 4: Wash turkey inside
and out with cold water and pat
dry with paper towels. Place
turkey in roasting pan and lift
up the skin starting near the
neck, and rub mixture onto the
meat under the skin.
Squeeze juice of one lem-
on over turkey. Use remain-
ing herb mixture to coat top
of bird. Prick two lemons and
place them into cavity with the
stems from sage, rosemary, and
thyme.
Step 5: Preheat oven to
350º. Cook until juice runs
clear when turkey is pierced at
the base of leg. The turkey is
done when the meat thermom-
eter reads 180º in the thickest
part of the bird. After the turkey
is cooked, let it cool for 15 min-
utes. Cooling makes the meat
easier to slice.
How to Carve A
Turkey
Step 6: Use a very sharp
carving knife to carve the turkey.
Sharp knives are safer and they
will help you smoothly cut thin,
even slices without shredding
the meat. You don’t have to be
an expert to put a razor-sharp
edge on your knife. A sharpen-
er like Chef’sChoice EdgeSelect

insurance policy until their 26th birthday. Starting 2010, insurance
companies are prohibited from dropping sick people from coverage.
Insurance companies are banned from imposing a lifetime cap on their
coverage for you. Adults with no insurance due to pre-existing condi-
tions will have access to affordable insurance through a high-risk pool.
More Care Centers, Better Health Care Availability. In 2011, com-
munity health centers get more money to enable them to offer more
services, for more hours of the day. Their goal is to double the number
of patients they treat, within five years. A new research panel has been
formed – an independent commission to advise on how to build a solid
health care workforce and increase the number of nurses, doctors and
other professionals our country needs. $500 million comes as an invest-
ment from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Leg-
islature recognized that with the population average age increasing as
quickly as it is, the increasing burden on the younger generation needs
to be managed, and quelled responsibly.
Discrimination By Insurance Companies? Some of the worst insur-
ance industry practices have been tackled head on. In the next year the
insurance industry has to revamp, to create a new, independent appeals
process to ensure that consumers in new private plans have access to an
effective process to appeal decisions made by their insurer. Discrimi-
nation based on salary is outlawed – no more special eligibility rules
for higher-wage employees. New offices will become available where
insurance consumers can get assistance in filing appeals.

in the large group market will be required to spend 85 percent of premi-
ums on medical services. Insurers not complying will have to rebate the 2005 Ford F350 Diesel 2010 Silverado 4x4
money to policyholders. Insurance is heavily regulated in most states.
In 2011 insurance companies will have to justify all requested premium
increases, to their State Insurance Commissioner or Panel.
How Are We Saving Money? Three ways: more and better employer-
provided health care coverage, free preventive care, and lowered costs.
To help with those costs, starting 2010 small businesses that choose to

New private plans are required to provide free preventive care: no co-
payments, no deductibles. And beginning January 1, 2011, Medicare
will do the same. Are you between age 55 and 64? A new temporary

To all you great Deer Hunters! Just a few field tips for your trophy
Buck. If it’s not below 32 degrees you need to cape your deer as soon
as possible, no more than one day. Three days if it is. Cut around the
deer behind the shoulders, cut the front legs off just above the knees
and skin the deer up to the head and cut off. Put in plastic bag and
freeze it or take to your taxidermist. I will be happy to do it for you if
you bring it to me. Good Luck, and safe hunting. ~ Steve Pritchard
we do, as a county, about underage drinking?” Thus was born, The Montcalm
Coalition to Prevent Underage Drinking (MCPUD) with members from many
different backgrounds and professions: the ministry, health care, students,
foster grandparents, law enforcement and parents as well as others.
MCPUD’s mission is to “organize and focus resources to lower the use
of alcohol and related consequences linked to underage youth in Montcalm
County.”
• Underage drinking is the leading contributor to death from injuries sustained
by those under 21.
• The vitality and protection of our youth rests primarily in the actions of adults.
• Underage drinking is a community issue and to make a lasting difference
all citizens, parents, youth, governmental agencies, public and private
institutions, businesses and workplaces, hospitals, schools, churches, and
civic organizations are called upon to step forward and do our part.
With these facts in mind, MCPUD created a “Community Commitment
Resolution” and has been asking community groups, organizations and
businesses throughout the county to support the goals of MCPUD.
Listed below are the businesses, schools, churches, civic groups and
organizations that have committed to support the efforts of the Coalition to

An interesting study in the Journal of Pediatrics this year showed that eating breakfast had a significant impact on

The BMI is a measuring tool that compares weight/height ratios. (weight in kilograms divided by height in meters
No Job’s Too Small! squared) A BMI of 18-25 is considered healthy, anything over 25 is considered over weight and over 30 is considered
obese. BMI calculators can be found on the internet or at your Doctor’s office.
Perfection Excavating The study showed that teens that ate breakfast had a BMI of 21.7 on average and those that did not eat breakfast
has a BMI of 23.4. These people we followed up five years later and the study found that the pattern was the same.
Morley, MI Those that did not eat breakfast had considerable more weight related health problems. As high as 34% of teenagers
do not eat breakfast.

231-349-0804 In natural health, we recommend a large breakfast, medium lunch and small supper. This is typically not the pattern
of most Americans. The saying, “Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Queen and Supper like a Pauper” seems to be a very
good model for most of us. A good breakfast should be balanced with fats, carbohydrates, and protein. A pop-tart
and a coke is not really the best breakfast.
The word break – fast actually tells us what that meal is all about, to break the overnight fast. At night our digestive
system including the liver is supposed to rest and recharge itself. Literally break fast means to start things up again for
the new day. A cup of hot lemon or hot herbal tea, followed by a meal is one of the best
ways to start the day. Coffee, the choice of millions, really is too acidic and does not really

coffee, make it weak (should be able to see through it) and limit it to one or two cups.

coffee.
Have a lunch with meat and protein in it. That way all the protein will be handled by 8

big meat meal for supper, the liver has to continue operations until past midnight and it gets

So, consider an experiment for 3-4 weeks. Have a good big balanced breakfast, high

will most likely be much better.
