Thanksgiving Turkey Tips

In this article, "The Pilgrims Didn't Brine," the NYT interviews several well-known cooks, including Sara Moulton and Christopher Kimball, for their thoughts on cooking a good turkey.

The Los Angeles Times had a splashy Thanksgiving section today -- there are many links on this page if you're looking for a new stuffing recipe or need recommendations for a roaster pan, among other things.

The LAT recommends against brining, incidentally. I've never felt the need to brine a turkey, myself, and have always had good results.
