It’s Thanksgiving time, which means spending time with friends and family, and of course the traditional Thanksgiving Day turkey. Students from Andalusia Elementary School explained how they would cook a turkey and what that enjoy about Thanksgiving.

“Well, the first thing you have to do is kill it,” said Aaron Shellhouse. “Then you take all the feathers off it, cut it up, put it in the oven and then you just eat it up.”

Shellhouse said his favorite part of Thanksgiving was going hunting with his dad.

“I get to go deer hunting with my daddy,” Shellhouse said.

Gage Dohoney said he wasn’t quite sure how the turkey cooking business goes, but he knows the end result is delicious.

“I don’t really know how it gets cooked, but my favorite part of Thanksgiving is eating turkey,” Dohoney said.

Dayton Smith had a slightly different approach to how to cook the turkey.

“First, I would take off the feathers and the beard and then cut it up and put it in the microwave for maybe a minute or two,” Smith said. “After that, you just eat it and that is my favorite part.”

Pre-K students Amos Bryan, Nicholas Brunson, Wilson Stroud, Riley Wingard and Lucy Owens had very creative ways to cook a turkey.

“Put it in the washer,” Brunson said.

“In the oven with it turned on,” Stroud said.

“Get it out of the refrigerator and cook it in the oven,” Owens said.

“Kill it and put it in the oven,” Bryan said.

“Well, sometimes my papa puts it on the grill with hot peppers,” Wingard said.
