You don't need a cookbook. You can find all the information you need here.

If you don't like to click on links just Google What's Cooking In America to find the website.

@Nightowlz thank you. I will check it out.

Go into the Food Network, and find instructions for them.  Or even look at some well known chefs and how they do it.  Run those off for them.  Saves doing a whole book.  How about Ree Drumond's books, she does lots of pictures if you want to get them a book.  Just an idea.  @kitty4me

I used to follow the directions on the  bag.    There is no guarantee that the turkey you get will be the wonderful, tender, juicy one, tho.....

@kitty4meyou might want to hop over to the recipe forum with this.  I agree to check out allrecipies. I have made a Maple Roast Turkey( cider and maple syrup boiled down and the concentrate stirred into butter) for decades.  I think a butter rub under the turkeys skin does a lot to keep it moist and flavorful.  If you do make the maple turkey just remember, because of the sugar the skin will end up more a mahogany color than golden brown. but It's GOOD.

I might suggest a turkey breast and a bag for the first experience.  If they start out dancing with a turkey, she may never cook again.

This book is on amazon, 4 1/2 stars.

I would give them a book which will teach and give instruction.  That is the only way to build a life skill.  If they get frustrated, they will likely stop.

I taught 20,000 students Foods, Adv Foods,  as well as my design classes.
