Sam Sifton, the New York Times food editor and founder of NYTCooking, joins Salon to deliver his best Thanksgiving dinner tips for home cooks. Sifton’s enthusiasm for the holiday—akin to that of a war-weary career field officer—is wonderfully infectious.

Sifton, also author of “Thanksgiving: How To Cook It Well,” unpacks how to prepare the bird, why he’s against turkey brining and the best way to carve the turkey. Plus, Sifton reveals his deep frying turkey disaster and why leaving the cook alone is the best thing you can do as a Thanksgiving guest.
