How To Cook A Turkey

I love stuff like this. This is not my own writing, but I am merely sharing what Silje brought home from kindergarten today. Her teacher asked “How do you cook a turkey” and printed the responses from all of the kids in the class. Since it’s only first names, I suppose it would be okay to share. Thank you Mrs. B for doing this, as it had me giggling for awhile!

So, how do you cook a turkey?

Anders: Get a turkey from the grocery store. Put it in the oven. Then after that, we get it all greased up. Then we cut it up. Then we eat it!

Joey: Put it in the oven in a pan. Put sandwich stuff with it. Cook it for ten minutes.

Kelsi: Add feathers to a turkey. Cover up the turkey with feathers to cook it. Put it in the oven for four minutes. It’s done when it “beeps”. Then we eat it.

Ellie: Go in the woods to get it. Take it out in a barrel. Take off the feathers. Wash it and cook it in the oven for thirty. Put it on a plate and cut it and eat it.

Lacie: I would put it in the oven. I would cut it up when it is done. It cooks for a long time. Check on it to see if it’s done.

Anna: Roast it, in a pan, cook on stove. Cook for two seconds. You know it’s done when it “beeps”. Take it out. Put these things in it and some juice on it. Then bring it outside on picnic table. Invite all the family members and eat it.

Madison: Get turkey from the store. Cook it in the oven for ten minutes. Eat it.

Kellen: Big food. Make the body. Put it in a pan and put it in the oven. It cooks for fifteen minutes. Then eat it.

Sophie: Cook it. You would have gloves to put it in. It might burn your bare hands. Then put it in the oven. Let it cook for maybe ten minutes. Take it out and eat it.

Owen: Shoot some turkey. Bring it home. Chop it up. Cook it. Then eat it. Put it in a pan. Then mush it up like a big big hamburger. Then put it in the microwave for ten minutes.

Ben: You need a stove and a turkey. And you put it in the stove and you cook it for fifty minutes. Then you eat it.

Katie: Cut it. Get the skin and throw it away. We put it in a pan and cook it in the over for eighteen. Then we eat it!

Julian: Maybe put some pepper and some salt. Then cook it in the oven. The put some oil on it. That’s all I would do, cook it for maybe twenty minutes. Then I would just eat it.

Alexander: Maybe some salt or pepper put some applesauce on it, or maybe putting milk and potatoes on it. Put it in the oven without a pan. Take it out in one half hour and then eat it!

Lindsey: Put it in the oven for ninety minutes. When it’s all done let it cool off and eat it. It’s going to be a good turkey!

Kacee: Get a turkey from a barn. Put it in a big pot. Then cook it on the stove for twenty hours. It’s done when the stove goes “beep”. Then take it out and cut it up and then eat.

Katelyn: Put it in the oven in a pan. When it’s done we would eat it. It’s done when the timer beeps.

Carter: Get a turkey from the store. Put it in a pan and cook it in the oven. Cooks for twenty-five minutes. Our mom will let us know when it’s done. Cut it up and eat.

Annelise: We would make it with feathers. Putting it on a pan, and then put salt on it and cut it up. Put it in the oven for, like, one hour.

Ethan: Put it in hte pan and put it on the stove. Cook for four minutes. It is done when it “beeps”.

Jenaya: Go hunting. Cook it on the stove in a pan. Cook it for one minute.

Silje: I would, like, boil it for ten minutes. Put in carrots. It’s done when it “beeps”. That’s how our oven works. I think that would be all.

Zayne: Cut it up and put it in the oven. Then you can eat it. Cook it like, an hour. It is done when it “beeps”.

Abeni: Help my mom. Salt and pepper, put it in the oven. Set the timer for five to ten minutes. Wait for it till it “beeps” and give hot pads to mom. Then bring it outside.

So do you think Silje has seen me make turkey broth with a turkey carcass before? Also, I’m wondering how many kids in her class have dads who hunt. I have to say, besides my lovely Silje, “Owen’s” answer was my favorite.
