Are you looking for a fun and educational activity to do with your preschoolers this Thanksgiving? Why not teach them how to cook a turkey! This hands-on experience will not only teach them about food preparation but also about the importance of family traditions and coming together to enjoy a delicious meal.

Getting Ready to Cook
Before you start cooking, gather all the ingredients and tools you will need. For this preschool-friendly turkey recipe, you will need a small turkey breast, butter, salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you prefer. You will also need a baking dish, aluminum foil, and an oven.
Start by preheating the oven to the appropriate temperature. While the oven is heating up, invite your preschooler to help season the turkey breast. Let them sprinkle salt, pepper, and other seasonings on the turkey, teaching them about flavors and how to season meat. Encourage them to use their hands to rub the seasonings into the meat, getting them involved in the cooking process.
Time to Cook the Turkey
Once the turkey breast is seasoned, place it in the baking dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Show your preschooler how to safely put the dish in the oven, emphasizing the importance of adult supervision when using the oven. While the turkey is cooking, take this time to talk to your preschooler about the significance of Thanksgiving and why we celebrate with a special meal.
As the delicious aroma of the cooking turkey fills the kitchen, your preschooler will be eagerly waiting to taste their creation. When the turkey is cooked through, take it out of the oven and let it cool before slicing it up for your little one to enjoy. Encourage them to try a bite of their homemade turkey and praise them for their cooking skills. This fun and educational activity will create lasting memories for you and your preschooler this Thanksgiving!
