The camera pans down towards a seated Mrs. Valerie Lyon basting a turkey while children watch. Mrs. Lyon sits at right and in profile, facing left. In front of her at left, turkeys lie in a large roasting pan. Valerie Lyon holds onto the pan with one hand and bastes the turkeys with the other. Behind the roasting pan, 4 children stand together in a small group. They all point towards the turkey. The child nearest to camera looks directly at Mrs. Lyon. To the left of them, the kitchen's ranges stretch into the distance. A butcher block preparation table extends behind them at right.
