Readers: Are you in need of any last-minute tips on how to prepare your Thanksgiving dinner?
The children of Carol Stokke’s kindergarten class at Snohomish County Christian School in Lynnwood are ready to help.
Here’s their advice on how to cook your turkey. Happy Thanksgiving!
“Um, you bake it. You break it into halves and put it on the plate so everybody can have it. You have to put it on a stove and then put it in there, in the oven, for 30 minutes.”
Brendan Studioso, 5
“You have to put some, like, butter and really good stuff on it. Then you cook it for, like, five or seven hours. Then it’s done. Mm-mmm.”
Drew Tingstad, 5
“Get it in the oven. We should put it to 80 degrees. And then after that you have, like, a little – something you put in the turkey and it tells you how hot it is. If it’s not hot enough, you have to put it in for some more. It should be 30 degrees. And then we get to eat it. Ha!”
Sarah Payne, 6
“You first go hunting for a turkey and then kill it and then bring it home and put it in a stove. The other way, you buy it and put it in your stove. Both parts, you get them out on the table – and cook yams.”
Jett Eilertsen, 6
“You get the turkey from turkeys, ‘cause why else would they call it turkey? You shoot the arrow and it dies. If guns were invented – well, they were invented – you could shoot the turkey. Or if you saw a turkey in the grass, you could shoot a cannon at it. Then you cook it in stuff like an oven, and then you eat it. You cook it for 15 minutes, probably, I think. Stuff like pizza goes in for about 50 minutes. Turkey doesn’t take too long, but pizza takes a long time.”
Benji Ekern, 6
“Find turkey dinner. Hunt for it maybe out in the deserts. Cook it by the oven, probably for, like, 20 minutes. You know it’s done when it beeps. Then eat it!”
Jayce Divine, 5
“You put in the oven and you keep it in for 99 minutes. And then when the timer beeps, you take it out and wait till it cools. And then when it’s all cool, you eat it. I don’t eat turkey. The only Thanksgiving food I would eat are the mashed potatoes.”
Jake Bozlinski, 5
“Get eggs, sugar, flour, turkey. Mix it. Put it in the oven at medium for 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven. Then you eat it.”
Chandler Woolley, 5
“You have to get a turkey that’s alive and then bake it. And you have to use sugar and flour. You mix them with eggs and mix it all together. Bake it in a pan – a frying pan – in the stove at 41 gallons for 10 minutes. Then you could eat it.”
Esther Jones, 5
“The first step is to buy a turkey from Albertsons. Then cook it in the oven for, like, 10 or 15 minutes, maybe, like, 7 degrees hot. Then you take it out. Then you put a little salt on it, a little pepper, then you dip some sauce in it and eat it.”
Katie Rodriguez, 6
“You buy the turkey at Albertsons, and then you cook it for 10 hours on warm. And then put some pepper and salt on it, and then you eat it.”
Kelli Burell, 5
“I think sugars, salts and you put oil on it. Cook it and spin it. And put a pumpkin and a leaf in the turkey. Let me think. Butters, milk, waters – spin it and spin it and spin it around. That will take 10 minutes. I think apples – put it in the spinner thing. Bake it in strawberries and vanilla yogurt for 60 minutes.”
Sade Suleiman, 5
“You get it from a store – a big turkey with the hands and brown parts. And then you cook it from the oven, real hot, for six minutes. And then when it’s done, you eat it.”
Dominique Anderson, 5
