What Temperature To Cook A Turkey:It’s Thanksgiving Day for our neighbors in the USA, and many Americans are cooking turkey’s today. Our favorite type of turkey is a butterball turkey. We thought we’d compile a list of tips for cooking the best turkey. (We’ve heard that some people have tried deep frying a turkey! Let us know your tips for this, it sounds delicious! The tips below are for roasting a turkey.)

Most strikingly, they found that overall, people whose minds are wandering are less happy than those focused on the task at hand.
“It’s paradoxical and ironic, in the sense that you would think if you leave the present, you’d go someplace better, but people seem to go to places that make them less happy,’’ said Matthew Killingsworth, a psychology graduate student at Harvard University and lead author of the work, published today in the journal Science.
