Visit this site for basics. Doesn't mean you have to buy a honeysuckle brand turkey. I usually purchase store brand and it's just as yummy!
2 :
I would get the turkey roast , with this way its easier and it only bakes for 2 hours in the oven.
3 :
It's not hard, just follow the directions on the package.
4 :
Maybe just buy the parts of the turkey that you like and cook that. I am scared to death of trying to bake a whole turkey and have only done so twice in my life, but I will bake just the thighs or the legs or the breast. Today I cooked two thighs in the crockpot. And last year it was just my husband and I and believe it or not we had sloppy joes made with ground turkey on hard rolls and we loved it. That is how we had our turkey. No stress, no mess and we were happy.

What risk is there for elementary kids to help prepare a turkey lunch in a classroom, besides the risk of burn
Our school of special ed students is planning on preparing a Thanksgiving lunch. (about 40 kids). The turkeys will be cooked at home by the teachers. However, cans of corn and peas and stuffing will be prepared in the classroom. Many of these kids drool, pick their nose and play pocket pool. help me.

use microwaves.

I don't think it's such a good idea if the kids are that messy. Would you feel comfortable eating it knowing what the kids' antics are? It's probably better if they watch and learn.
3 :
I wouldn't eat it
4 :
a huge foodfight. hahaha pocket pool? well that could make for some yummy stuffing?
5 :
haha have them wash their hands before class. try to tell them that picking your nose or anything like that shouldn't be done, and stress that. alot. get some hand sanitizer and tell them that if they sneeze or cough to be sure to cover their mouth and use the hand sanitizer afterwards. it shouldn't be TOO dangerous.
6 :
yeah...i definatly wouldn't let those kids make the side dishes with everything you listed...also they could cut themselves on the cans as well...if it was only a few kids then i would say just make sure their hands are clean and you watch them carefully, but theres no way you can keep fourty kids from picking their noses and whatnot
7 :
make sure u eat b4 attending this... also just get plastic plates, make kids were gloves, wash their hands before preparing, open the cans urselves, give them the sandwhich part to make...
8 :
An undercooked turkey, or stuffing that hasn't been properly heated, is a breeding ground for bacteria. People get sick from it all the time. Be careful with knives, forks, and other kitchen tools. Big heavy cans can fall on little feet. Ouch!
9 :
have them wear rubber gloves
10 :
Why would playing pocket pool have a adverse affect on their turkey lunch? Now you could run into trouble if they were fixing Meat ball sandwiches.
11 :
I am a former preschool teacher and cooking was something we did on occasion. The thing you need to keep in mind is supervision. Watch the kids, where are their hands going, are they wandering away from the table to return again. Those are the things to keep in mind. Teach them to keep their hands clean while cooking. Do a couple of cooking activities before the event to work out a routine and to teach them that clean hands are necessary when cooking. Have a floater walk around the room to monitor the kids. If they pick their nose or pick up something off the floor then the floater can assist you in being sure that the children's hands are clean. As for the drooling kids, they may not be able to cook but they can participate with the decorations. Most of all, keep you cool. If you get upset so will they. Stay calm and if you need help do not be afraid to ask someone to help monitor the children.
12 :
there is the risk of cross-contamination due to poor hygiene practices (poor kids, don't know better) and I'm actually suprised to hear that you can actually bring homemade food into the class because of the same reason. You have to make sure the turkey is fully cooked to 165F for 15 seconds to eliminate bacteria, like salmonella, which immune-poor individuals can be susceptible to. if these kids get any food-born illnesses, your butt will be on the line, good intentions or not. same with burns. if these kids go home sick and burned, you may be sued. If I were you, I'd leave it up to the kitchen staff to oversee the food prep, and let the kids make their own plate, not a community plate, unless you're willing to eat from it also.
13 :
first get them all to use antibac on there hands then split them in to groups and get one group doing the corn the other groups doing the other veg and stuffing good luck
14 :
Well now is a good opportunity to teach them about being clean around food. Use latex gloves and for those who drool let them watch.

What are some ways that can make being a vegetarian easier as a High School student?
What are some ways that can make being a vegetarian easier as a High School student?
I am trying out being a vegetarian. I already don't eat red meat pork or anything besides chicken, turkey, fish, and seafood. I tried being a full vegetarian once before in Middle school but that didn't work. Any Ideas?????

First of all refraining from red meat and pork while eating poultry, fish and seafood doesn't make you a vegetarian. It has been my experience that vegetarians/vegans expect others to accomodate their dietary hangups. The best way to deal with that is to simply make your own lunch. So make and pack your own lunch and then you don't have to worry about what's in the school lunch.
2 :
Hi My best friend is a vegetarian also, and we are in 11th grade. She packs her lunch and puts things like veggie chicken nuggets (these are so good, better than real chicken!) yogurt/pudding/jello nuts, granola bars veggie sandwiches You can put together a healthy vegetarian lunch very easily! And most of the same things would be included in a non-veggie lunch anyway!
3 :
How didn't it work? If you try to stick with it, then after a while being a vegetarian will be easier and you don't have to try not to eat meat. I'm in highschool and am a vegetarian and i pack my own lunch with peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, an apple, celery and carrots, a water bottle, and maybe some cereal or cheez its. My school also sells veggie subs so i can eat those or cheese pizza.
4 :
surf da net, talk 2 other veg*nz , read bookz about veg*nism 2 know wut iz owt there u can eat n 2 make sure u r eatin rite n doin it 4 da rite reason
5 :
I agree with the people above that making your own lunch would stop your temptations from buying poultry and fish from the cafeteria. For your lunch you could include quorn chicken pieces (their my favourite!) some salad, vegetarian jelly ( you can buy this from your local shop) and quorn ham pieces (this is also available from your local supermarket.
6 :
the best thing i can tell you is, BRING YOUR OWN FOOD everywhere. especially if you're vegan. becoming a vegetarian wasn't hard for me whatsoever... so i can't really help you. Just remember not to eat Jell-O. i believe that Horizon makes vegan jello :)
7 :
just stay away from it it may be hard but try outher food without meats or buy a meat pizza take it off and if you cant keep trying
8 :
There are many books about being a veggie, but I find the best place is the supermarket. Wander around a little, you'll meet loads of new foods that you (or most people) haven't met before. Take them home and have a play =) If your school is useless with veggie meals take a packed lunch, _also_ write your head a nice letter saying that your a veggie and you'd appreciate some more options. Try and find other veggies in school to ask them for advice, they can give you the best as they know the school area etc. A sandwich, bag of crisps (potato chips), a yogurt and an apple/banana/peach/pear is what I used to take to school for packed lunch. Occasionally I'd make some pasta and a sauce and take them in in a pot. If your taking pots in, there's nothing you can't take! As long as you don't mind eating it cold. Fruit Salad, Potato salad, Mashed Potato, Falafel! Your imaginationn is your only limit, being a veggie only cuts a small proportion of your options out when you actually look at it.
9 :
Yup, even though restaurants are becoming increasingly sensitive to vegetarianism, you really need to learn to cook for yourself to be successful and healthful. There is a wonderful book called "The Clueless Vegetarian" by Evelyn Raab which teaches you how to cook vegetarian meals for yourself in a straitforward and completely comprehnsive way. The book is designed specifically for teenagers and young adults who have less experience in the kitchen and need to learn to cook easy, tasty and nutritious meals. Seriously, check it out.

When I was at school, I just brought my own food everyday. Practically nothing from the cafeteria was suitable for me... but it was a great decision. My food tasted better, was healthier and I saved a lot of money.
