What turkey recipe should i use for my first thanksgiving dinner?

Something simple. It really is best,since most of the time people make very savory side dishes. 1 turkey (12- to 14- pounds) 1 and 3/4 cup of Chicken Stock(chicken broth will do just fine as well) Remove the package of the giblets and neck from the turkey cavity. Rinse the turkey with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Tie the ends of the drumsticks together. Place the turkey, breast side-up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush the turkey with the stock. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the meat, making sure the thermometer is not touching the bone,or it will effect the temperature readout and it may not be correct. Roast at 325°F. for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until the thermometer reads 180°F. and the drumstick moves easily, basting occasionally with the stock. Begin checking for doneness after 2 1/2 hours of cooking time. Let stand for 10 or so minutes after it's done before carving to allow the juices to redistribute. Remove the turkey from the roasting pan. Pour off any fat. And serve howeverer you like.
