A reflective note links Pilgrim Mothers with their hard ships beside the Pilgrim Fathers. It imagines early Thanksgiving with a Wilsons Certified Turkey or Chicken ready for the oven and a Wilson Tender Made Ham needing only heating to accompany the feast.
Thoroughly rinse the turkey in cold water and drain. Rub salt inside and out then stuff with dressing and seal openings. Truss wings and legs, brush with fat or butter, and roast at 475 F for about 45 minutes. Lower to 275 F and baste with water and butter, covering with wrapping paper if browning. Cook 20 minutes per pound over 12 pounds, or 25 minutes per pound under 12.
Prepare the same as turkey. Cook 4-5 lb chicken about 15 to hours at 475 browning then 325 with frequent basting. For 5-6 lb birds allow 2 to 2 hours.

The piece advises placing the turkey first if the oven is crowded, with Tender Made Ham ready to eat or warmed briefly. It suggests a Wilson Certified Tender Extra Mild Smoked Ham as an at home alternative and recommends cooking times of 16 minutes per pound at 325 degrees, preferably prepared the day before and served cold or warmed during turkey cooking.
