Most households will have at least one more question, and chances are it will be an online search for a recipe. "How do you make _______?"

Google reports the most-searched recipe in most states is a roasted turkey. It's the #1 culinary challenge in nine states. It would have been ten but Kentucky appears to be more interested in deep-fried turkey. When it comes to desserts, pumpkin pie and brownies are the most popular, searched by fifteen states each.
