Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes, Turkey Help
I took the turkey out of the freezer and put it into the refrigerator two days before Thanksgiving so that it would thaw thoroughly. I also kept an eye on it to make sure it was thawing. The day before Thanksgiving I got the turkey out, removed the giblets and rinsed it. I put the turkey back in the refrigerator.

Green Bean Salad
A recipe from my great-grandmother. This is a recipe that's always been a favorite of my Mom's. She's of German heritage and said that she learned it from her Grandmother. For this recipe you'll want to cook the beans until they are tender, but still slightly firm. Green Bean Salad Cut the ends off of one pound of green beans and then cut them into 2 inch lengths. Drop them into boiling water and cook them uncovered for 10-15 minutes. .
