As Thanksgiving nears in Sweetwater, Texas, instructors Lyanna Cintron and Nathan Sheasby from Texas State Technical College’s Culinary Arts program are helping students and home cooks prepare holiday meals. They advise starting with the turkey and recommend brining it with salt, sugar, water, and aromatics for better flavor. The chefs suggest not relying on pop-up thermometers in store-bought turkeys.
