As the holiday season approaches, West Virginia University Extension Service agents are inviting the community to “talk turkey” and ask questions about planning, preparing and preserving a Thanksgiving meal.

A live “Ask the WVU Extension Expert” Q&A will take place Nov. 17 from 7-8 p.m. on the WVU Extension Services Facebook page.

Those who are unable to participate in the live session can ask questions in advance on the page beginning Nov. 12 on the “Ask in Advance” post.

Experts will answer questions about safely preparing a Thanksgiving turkey, and will provide tips and recipes for putting together a healthy meal for family and friends.

Experts will also give advice and suggestions on how to safely preserve leftovers so they can be enjoyed after the holiday.

The panel will be comprised of WVU Extension Service Families and Health agents. Panelists include Brenda Porter of Cabell County, Kerri Wade of Kanawha County and Judy Matlick of Jefferson County.
