What do you do? Call a friend or relative (most likely your mother, who has been on turkey duty for as long as you can remember)? Drag the weightiest and worthiest volume in your cookery-book collection down from its shelf? Or power up the laptop sitting on the kitchen table and type "how to roast turkey" into a search engine?
