Thanksgiving turkey in 8 easy stepsNORTH AMERICANPRECIS SYNDICATE

To help the bird you serveget “gobbled up” this holiday try these easy tips from “Fla- vors of America” TV host andcookbook author Chef JimColeman and Chef’sChoice®.These experts have teamed upto take you through the process

of serving up the perfect bird,including choosing, seasoning,cooking and carving the turkey.

Choosing TheTurkey

n Step 1: When choosing your turkey, allow 1.5 poundsfor each guest. For eight guests, you’ll want at least a 12 lb. tur-key. There will be ample left-overs.

n Step 2: If you’re buying a

frozen turkey, allow 24 hours of thawing for every four-to-vepounds; a fresh turkey shouldnot sit more than 48 to 72 hours before preparation.

nHints: According to Cole-man, there is no scientic evi-dence that bird gender makesa difference in quality or taste.Environment and feed, how-ever, can determine a taste dif-ference.

Turkeys can be frozen up to12 months. If you have a frozenturkey from last year, it’s safe to

cook for this year’s feast if it hasremained frozen throughoutthe year.

n Step 3: Flavor your tur-key with Coleman’s “holiday rub” (recipe for 12 lb. turkey).

ThanksgivingRecipe:

The Holiday Rub2 Tbsp. chopped fresh

thyme leaves (save stems)2 Tbsp. chopped fresh rose-

mary (save stems)2 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage

(save stems)2 Tbsp. minced garlic2 Tbsp. minced shallots3 lemonsMix all ingredients above,

set aside stems. Pepper totaste.

Step 4: Wash turkey insideand out with cold water and patdry with paper towels. Placeturkey in roasting pan and liftup the skin starting near theneck, and rub mixture onto the

meat under the skin.Squeeze juice of one lem-

on over turkey. Use remain-ing herb mixture to coat topof bird. Prick two lemons andplace them into cavity with thestems from sage, rosemary, andthyme.

Step 5: Preheat oven to350º. Cook until juice runsclear when turkey is pierced atthe base of leg. The turkey isdone when the meat thermom-eter reads 180º in the thickestpart of the bird. After the turkey is cooked, let it cool for 15 min-utes. Cooling makes the meateasier to slice.

How to Carve ATurkey

Step 6: Use a very sharpcarving knife to carve the turkey.Sharp knives are safer and they will help you smoothly cut thin,even slices without shredding

the meat. You don’t have to bean expert to put a razor-sharpedge on your knife. A sharpen-er like Chef’sChoice EdgeSelect120 can make sharpening easy.The sharpener uses 100 percentdiamond-coated disks and arevolutionary polishing stage tocreate a professional knife edgein seconds. The precision guideseliminate guesswork, making

predictable, razor-sharp edgesevery time it’s used.

Step 7: Remove and setaside the legs and the last jointof each wing. Make a long, deep(to the bone), horizontal “basecut” into the breast just abovethe wing. Be sure to use a good,sharp knife.

Step 8: Slice down vertical-ly through the breast until youmeet the original base cut. This will release perfect, even slices.

“Two common mistakespeople make after cookingtheir turkey is not waiting longenough for the bird to rest af-

ter it comes out of the oven,and improperly carving theturkey by using a dull knife orthe wrong technique. If youslice the turkey too soon, mostof the juices will run out and your meat will be dry. And if you carve improperly or use adull knife, carving may be moredifcult and your turkey could become unappetizing,” Cole-man said.

By following these turkey carving instructions, you canhave a turkey that looks as goodas it tastes.

ener that’s right for you, call(800) 342-3255 or go to www.chefschoice.com.

Children, Dependents and Lifetime Caps. When the health insurance

exchanges phase in over the next few years, children’s pre-existing con-

dition discrimination ends. Young people can remain on their parents’

insurance policy until their 26th birthday. Starting 2010, insurance

companies are prohibited from dropping sick people from coverage.

Insurance companies are banned from imposing a lifetime cap on their

coverage for you. Adults with no insurance due to pre-existing condi-

tions will have access to affordable insurance through a high-risk pool.

More Care Centers, Better Health Care Availability. In 2011, com-

munity health centers get more money to enable them to offer more

services, for more hours of the day. Their goal is to double the number

of patients they treat, within five years. A new research panel has been

formed – an independent commission to advise on how to build a solid

health care workforce and increase the number of nurses, doctors and

other professionals our country needs. $500 million comes as an invest-

ment from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Leg-

islature recognized that with the population average age increasing as

quickly as it is, the increasing burden on the younger generation needs

to be managed, and quelled responsibly.

Discrimination By Insurance Companies? Some of the worst insur-

ance industry practices have been tackled head on. In the next year the

insurance industry has to revamp, to create a new, independent appeals

process to ensure that consumers in new private plans have access to an

effective process to appeal decisions made by their insurer. Discrimi-

nation based on salary is outlawed – no more special eligibility rules

for higher-wage employees. New offices will become available where

insurance consumers can get assistance in filing appeals.

How Much Can they Keep? How much of our premium payments do

the insurance company owners keep? Is there a limit? Starting in 2011,

insurers in individual and small group markets will be required to spend

80 percent of premiums on medical services. They will have 20% with

which to pay their own expenses, rent, employees and owners. Insurers

in the large group market will be required to spend 85 percent of premi-

ums on medical services. Insurers not complying will have to rebate the

money to policyholders. Insurance is heavily regulated in most states.

In 2011 insurance companies will have to justify all requested premium

increases, to their State Insurance Commissioner or Panel.

How Are We Saving Money? Three ways: more and better employer-

provided health care coverage, free preventive care, and lowered costs.

To help with those costs, starting 2010 small businesses that choose to

offer coverage will receive tax credits up to 35 percent of their costs.

New private plans are required to provide free preventive care: no co-

payments, no deductibles. And beginning January 1, 2011, Medicare

will do the same. Are you between age 55 and 64? A new temporary

re-insurance program is offered to help offset the costs of expensive

premiums for employers and retirees age 55-64. Age 65 or over? Be-

ginning in 2011, the bill institutes a 50% discount on prescription drugs

in the ‘donut hole’.

Not sure if something applies to you? Contact your insurance compa-

ny agent, revisit the plans being offered privately, contact your Human

Resources Department, or call Medicare if you’re 65 or older. Find lots

In 2007, Montcalm County held a summit asking the question: “What dowe do, as a county, about underage drinking?” Thus was born, The MontcalmCoalition to Prevent Underage Drinking (MCPUD) with members from manydifferent backgrounds and professions: the ministry, health care, students,foster grandparents, law enforcement and parents as well as others.

MCPUD’s mission is to “organize and focus resources to lower the useof alcohol and related consequences linked to underage youth in MontcalmCounty.”

• Underage drinking is the leading contributor to death from injuries sustainedby those under 21.

• The vitality and protection of our youth rests primarily in the actions of adults.• Underage drinking is a community issue and to make a lasting difference

all citizens, parents, youth, governmental agencies, public and privateinstitutions, businesses and workplaces, hospitals, schools, churches, andcivic organizations are called upon to step forward and do our part.

With these facts in mind, MCPUD created a “Community CommitmentResolution” and has been asking community groups, organizations andbusinesses throughout the county to support the goals of MCPUD.

Listed below are the businesses, schools, churches, civic groups and organizations that have committed to support the efforts of the Coalition todate:

Specializing In:

Game Heads, Mammals, and FishTo all you great Deer Hunters! Just a few field tips for your trophy

Buck. If it’s not below 32 degrees you need to cape your deer as soon

as possible, no more than one day. Three days if it is. Cut around the

deer behind the shoulders, cut the front legs off just above the knees

and skin the deer up to the head and cut off. Put in plastic bag and

freeze it or take to your taxidermist. I will be happy to do it for you if

you bring it to me. Good Luck, and safe hunting. ~ Steve Pritchard

BreakfastAn interesting study in the Journal of Pediatrics this year showed that eating breakfast had a significant impact on

the weight of teenagers and adults. This study of 2,200 teenagers in the Minneapolis area looked at the average BMI(Body Mass Index).

The BMI is a measuring tool that compares weight/height ratios. (weight in kilograms divided by height in meterssquared) A BMI of 18-25 is considered healthy, anything over 25 is considered over weight and over 30 is consideredobese. BMI calculators can be found on the internet or at your Doctor’s office.

The study showed that teens that ate breakfast had a BMI of 21.7 on average and those that did not eat breakfasthas a BMI of 23.4. These people we followed up five years later and the study found that the pattern was the same. Those that did not eat breakfast had considerable more weight related health problems. As high as 34% of teenagersdo not eat breakfast.

In natural health, we recommend a large breakfast, medium lunch and small supper. This is typically not the patternof most Americans. The saying, “Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Queen and Supper like a Pauper” seems to be a very good model for most of us. A good breakfast should be balanced with fats, carbohydrates, and protein. A pop-tartand a coke is not really the best breakfast.

The word break – fast actually tells us what that meal is all about, to break the overnight fast. At night our digestivesystem including the liver is supposed to rest and recharge itself. Literally break fast means to start things up again for the new day. A cup of hot lemon or hot herbal tea, followed by a meal is one of the best ways to start the day. Coffee, the choice of millions, really is too acidic and does not really assist in the start up of all the enzymes systems that need to get going. If you must drinkcoffee, make it weak (should be able to see through it) and limit it to one or two cups.Remember, it takes 400 mg of calcium to buffer (neutralize) the acid in one cup of strongcoffee.

Have a lunch with meat and protein in it. That way all the protein will be handled by 8pm. Then, you and your liver wi ll be able to shut down for the night and rest. If you have abig meat meal for supper, the liver has to continue operations until past midnight and it gets

very little down time. This may contribute to insomnia.So, consider an experiment for 3-4 weeks. Have a good big balanced breakfast, high

protein lunch, and light low protein supper. See how you feel after a month or so. Things will most likely be much better.
