So you remembered to remove the turkey’s giblets and neck. But did you remember to break the beak off, lather it in peanut butter and Parmesan cheese, and serve with french fries and scrambled eggs?

Here’s some tips for your turkey Christmas dinner preparations, courtesy of Teresa Buddington’s kindergarten class at Brentwood Elementary.
