NOTES : Use a sharp carving knife for best results when carving a whole  
turkey. While carving, keep the turkey from moving by holding it  
in place with a meat fork. Carve on a stable cutting surface, such  
as a plastic cutting board or platter. Carving is easier if the  
turkey is allowed to stand for about 15 minutes after roasting.

2
pounds cauliflower (1 medium head)  
When Shopping: Look for a clean, firm cauliflower with nonspreading flower  
clusters (the white portion) and green leaves. Some supermarkets sell just  
the flower clusters, which are already removed from the stalks. Wrap  
tightly and store in the refrigerator up to 1 week.  
Preparing for Cooking: Remove outer leaves, and cut off the core, or stem,  
close to the head.  
Cut any discoloration off of the flower clusters. Wash cauliflower. Cut  
the flower clusters (flowerets) off the core, and discard the core.  
Boiling: Add 1 inch of water (and 1/4 teaspoon salt if desired) to a  
medium saucepan (about 3-quart size). Cover and heat to boiling over high  
heat. Add the flowerets. Cover and heat to boiling again. Once water is  
boiling, reduce heat just enough so water bubbles gently. Cook covered 10  
to 12 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork; drain in a  
strainer.  
Steaming: Place a steamer basket in 1/2 inch of water in a skillet or  
saucepan. The water should not touch the bottom of the basket. Place  
flowerets in basket. Cover tightly and heat to boiling over high heat.  
Once water is boiling, reduce heat to low. Steam covered 6 to 8 minutes or  
until tender when pierced with a fork.  
Microwaving: Place flowerets and 1/4 cup water in a 2-quart microwavable  
casserole. Cover with plastic wrap, folding back 2-inch edge to vent.  
Microwave on High 12 to 14 minutes, stirring after 6 minutes, until tender  
when pierced with a fork. Let stand covered 1 minute; drain in a strainer.

medium head (2 pounds) is enough for 4 servings
