    Turkey tips lines

    Need a helping hand to put the finishing touches on your holiday meal? There are a bunch of Web sites around to help guide you through the process. Many offer complete recipes, as well as tips on things like how to carve a turkey or how to tell when it's done in the first place.

    When you're nodding off after today's Turkey Day dinner, don't blame the bird. Experts are debunking the popular thinking that turkey makes you drowsy. Turkey does contain an amino acid that can lead to sleepiness, but researchers at a New Jersey sleep center say it has a hard time reaching the brain when it's part of a big meal. Instead, they say travel, longer hours at work, overeating and alcohol are more likely to lead to an after dinner nap. One dietitian believes another factor that could lead to feeling tired could be sitting around and watching football after the big meal is done.
