Rookie cooks nervous about attempting their first Turkey Day spread should plan in advance and leave enough time for frozen turkeys to defrost.

Christopher Clem from Butterball Turkey has some tips on how to make the perfect turkey for Thanksgiving.After Christopher Hughey tweeted that he's tackling his first Thanksgiving turkey last year, the advice started rolling in.

Food experts say rookie cooks nervous about attempting their first Turkey Day spreads can avoid disaster and keep everyone healthy by following a few basic tips.As for the meal itself, experts say to get started well before the big day. A common mistake: Failing to plan so all the dishes can be ready in time. That includes leaving enough time for frozen turkeys to defrost in the fridge, where temperatures are cold enough to prevent bacteria from multiplying.

Making sure the bird is properly cooked -- it should be 165 degrees at the thickest part -- also means using a meat thermometer. Contrary to the advice many offered to Hughey, experts aren't fans of the pop-up thermometers that come stuck in some birds.
