Cooking a turkey has always had a sense of individuality to it. Your mother always did it this way, your grandmother wrapped hers with aluminum foil tightly, opposed to a aluminum tent technique, and don’t forget about the sure can’t miss turkey cooking bag technique. Well, now it’s your turn and the bottom line is, you want yours to be raved about from the clan at your Thanksgiving table, right?
Turkey recipes can range from boiling, basting, or deep frying, and for the stuffing, we won’t even go there. Trimming your holiday turkey is a personal thing and you just want it to be a good memory with a lingering flavor. Turkey is a funny sort of food, we look forward to Thanksgiving so that the family can enjoy a big fine juicy turkey and it’s like the only time other than Christmas you can eat turkey, but turkey is one of the most affordable meats in our grocer’s deli?
Turkey is as much, a holiday meat, as any other food. We symbolize the turkey as the official meat of the last two major holidays of the year. Why is that? Maybe it’s because after Thanksgiving and Christmas, we’ve had so much turkey that we can wait a full year before doing turkey again.
You know, since turkeys are such an icon why don’t we hear more country and western songs about turkeys? Can’t you just see the videos that would go with a turkey song. “Wings a flappin’, gobbler trottin’, old timey meals are not forgotten, eat away, eat away, turkeyland!”
Enjoy the holidays and remember our troops, mention them in your Thanksgiving meal prayer, if it weren’t for them, freedom would not taste so good.
