<bot>: To prepare a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, start by preheating your oven to the recommended temperature. Next, remove the giblets from the turkey and set aside for later use, if desired. Then, place the turkey in a roasting pan and season it with your favorite herbs and spices. Finally, place the turkey in the oven and cook according to the instructions on the packaging, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
