Plus, Laurie pours her top wine picks for the holiday table and the duo answers listener questions that’ll make your feast the best yet.

Takeaways:

•  Those pop-up timers? Cute, but not trustworthy.
• Check the temp near the thickest part of the rear leg for the real story.
• Pull that bird at 155°F carryover cooking will do the rest, taking it right to 165°F safely.
• Carving the bird is not what you might think. Check out Chef's video tutorial on how to carve like a pro here: https://youtu.be/cGTGzPw15A4
• With the right prep, holiday cooking can actually be fun.
