ONLY 25¢EACH!

35”x 23” size

Ingredients• 2 tablespoons dried parsley• 2 tablespoons ground dried rosemary• 2 tablespoons rubbed dried sage• 2 tablespoons dried thyme leaves• 1 tablespoon lemon pepper• 1 tablespoon salt• 1 (15 pound) whole turkey, neck and gib-lets removed• 2 stalks celery, chopped• 1 orange, cut into wedges• 1 onion, chopped• 1 carrot, chopped• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth• 1 (750 milliliter) bottle champagne

Directions1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Line a turkey roaster with long sheets of aluminum foil that will be long enough to wrap over the turkey.Stir together the parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, lemon pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Rub the herb mixture into the cavity of the turkey, then stuff with the celery, orange, onion, and carrot. Truss if desired, and place the turkey into the roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth and cham-pagne over the turkey, making sure to get some champagne in the cavity. Bring the aluminum foil over the top of the turkey, and seal. Try to keep the foil from touching the skin of the turkey breast or legs.

2. Bake the turkey in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. Uncover the turkey, and continue baking until the skin turns golden brown, 30 minutes to 1 hour longer. An in-stant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F.

3. Remove the turkey from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.

Juicy Thanksgiving Turkey

Metro Creative ConnectionMany holiday shoppers

can tell personal tales of nav-igating crowded stores on Black Friday. The unoffi -cial beginning to the holi-day shopping season, Black Friday is a day to land great deals for those shoppers who can handle the crowds.

Beating the crowds on Black Friday might not be possible, but there are ways for shoppers to fi nd great deals even in the most crowded stores.

• Comparison shop. Many retailers release their Black Friday deals well in advance of the day itself. This gives shoppers the chance to com-parison shop. Research the difference between deals offered by local and national retailers. Local stores off the beaten path may be offer-ing similar discounts to their chain competitors, and the small, locally-based stores likely won’t attract crowds as large as those drawn to large, national chains. If the differ-ences between sales offered by local and national retailers is negligible, stick to the lo-cal stores and enjoy the less hectic shopping experience.

• Make purchases with a cash-back credit card. Con-sumers who trust themselves to pay their credit card bal-ances in full each month can use cash-back cards to enhance their Black Friday savings. Such cards reward consumers with cash back that’s equal to a percentage of each purchase made with their cards. For example, a 2 percent cash-back card will return $2 to consumers for every $100 they spend using their cash-back card. While using these cards won’t do much to combat Black Friday

crowds, shoppers might be happy to wait on line know-ing that their Black Friday deals will prove even more rewarding than advertised.

• Arrive early. While the idea of waking up in the middle of the night to shop is anathema to many peo-ple, doing so is a great way to land Black Friday deals. And because many retailers now offer midnight sales on Black Friday, shoppers who can stay up to midnight and beyond won’t even have to drag themselves out of bed to score great deals. Shoppers should still expect crowds at midnight and overnight, but such crowds will likely be a lot smaller than they will come the morning and after-noon of Black Friday.

• Shop for less popular items. Big-ticket items like televisions and tablets may garner the most attention on Black Friday, but many re-tailers do not limit their dis-counts to such items. Heavily discounted TV’s and tablets might sell fast, so shoppers who don’t need such items or are willing to wait until they go on sale later in the holi-day season can focus instead on items that may be just as treasured by their loved ones. Scour Black Friday ads to fi nd deals on items that might not catch every consumers’ eye, then focus your attention on fi nding these items when you visit stores.

Crowds might compel some shoppers to avoid Black Friday, but there are many ways to land great deals on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
