JACKSON, Mich., Nov. 20, 2017 – Consumers Energy is sharing that the cost of the energy it takes to cook a traditional Thanksgiving feast is less than $2. That value includes the energy – either natural gas or electricity -- for roasting the stuffed 18-pound turkey at the center of the table and for simmering or baking enough side dishes and desert to serve 12 hungry guests.

Customers can increase their energy value even more by using a roasting bag to cut in half the time it takes to cook a turkey, combining several dishes when baking, and keeping the oven door closed. Other tips to trim holiday energy costs are at www.ConsumersEnergy.com/myhome. Consumers Energy has been providing for Michigan family traditions for more than 130 years.
