A few days before cooking your meal, you can start thawing out the turkey using a poultry-safe method that will prevent the growth and spread of bacteria. You cannot safely thaw turkey at room temperature for more than 2 hours. To thaw the turkey in the refrigerator, you will need about 24 hours per 5 pounds (2.3kg) of turkey. Simply place the turkey in the refrigerator a few days before you plan to cook it. Once thawed, the turkey can stay in the fridge for another 2 days. Make sure you place a protective sheet or plate under the bird to catch any liquid. If you don't have as much time, you can also thaw the turkey in cold water, and this will only require about 30 minutes per 1 pound (0.45kg). Place the turkey in a sealable plastic bag and submerge it in cold water. Change the water every 30 minutes. Cook the thawed turkey immediately. In a large saucepan, combine the salt, brown sugar, stock, peppercorns, allspice berries, and ginger. Heat the brine over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. Transfer it to a food storage container and put it in the refrigerator. To give the brine the best flavor, prepare it 3 days before you plan to cook the turkey. Then store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to brine the turkey the night before cooking. This amount of brine is suitable for a turkey up to 16 pounds (7.3kg). The purpose of brining is to make the meat juicier and the skin crispier. The night before you plan to cook the turkey, remove the neck and giblets from the turkey cavity and place the turkey breast-down in a large stockpot. Add the ice water and brine solution to cover the turkey. If the turkey is floating and not submerged in the brine solution, weigh it down with a plate. Cover the pot with foil or a lid. Place the pot in the refrigerator for anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. Turn the turkey halfway through the brining process. Discard the brine and rinse the turkey inside and out. Move the turkey to a roasting rack and pat it dry with paper towels. After patting the turkey dry, let it air dry for another hour before cooking it to ensure the crispiest skin possible. Always make sure you wash your hands, cooking surfaces, and dishes well with hot, soapy water when dealing with raw poultry.

SUMMARY: Thaw Prepare the brine. Brine the turkey. Remove the turkey from the brine before cooking it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Autistic individuals often have food sensitivities. This may make a lot of foods inedible to them. You need to make sure that your child gets nutrition, but you also don't want to fight with your child at every mealtime. Keep your expectations reasonable. Eating enough food is more important than eating nutritious food. Eating a fairly balanced diet is more important than eating a wide variety of foods. See if your child can handle eating gummy vitamins if their diet is very limited. If your child gets sick after eating a certain food, there may be a reason beyond sensitivity. Many autistic children suffer from gastrointestinal problems and allergies to common foods like milk and gluten. Talk to your doctor to determine which foods should not be served at all. Whenever possible, try to determine why your child dislikes a particular item. Is it the texture? The flavor? The color? Ask the child what makes the food so disgusting. You may be able to serve the same ingredients in a different way and make everyone happy. Note that autistic children may struggle, particularly, with mixed-up foods like stews and casseroles. Autistic children often like to touch and taste individual ingredients before deciding whether or not to eat them, and these dishes make it difficult for them to do so. Offer seasonings on the side, so that each person can season the meal to taste. For example, if your wife likes spicy spaghetti and your daughter cries when given spice, place the spice shakers on the table instead of mixing spice into the sauce. Many children become more interested in expanding their horizons when they aren't facing constant parental pressure to do so. Autistic children may need to touch, smell, lick, or play with their food before eating it. Don't squash these tendencies out of a misguided concern about table manners. These quirks may ultimately lead your child to eat a greater variety of foods. Preparing meals can be fun, and your child may be more likely to eat the foods they help to make. For example, consider making homemade pizza with your child. You can have fun kneading and tossing the dough, make faces with the vegetables, and taste throughout the process. Eliminate certain tastes or textures as you go if your child hates the texture of chunky tomato pieces, puree them. Your child may point out certain ingredients as "gross" or "scary." This can help you learn more about their sensitivities. Let your child know that it's acceptable not to like certain foods. Instead of putting broccoli directly on their plate, offer a choice broccoli, spinach, or asparagus? When your child comes to the grocery store, let them pick out some favorite vegetables. Giving your child some control may make mealtime feel less like a battle.

SUMMARY: Be realistic. Distinguish between allergies and sensitivities. Pay attention to your child's sensitivities. Be patient, and don't pressure. Allow your child to "play" with their food. Involve your child in food preparation. Offer choices.
