Can we talk turkeys?
With Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon, turkeys will soon be more available in the supermarkets.
This is my second winter in the Villages and my first with a freezer. Back in MA, I would fill up my freezer with 4 or 5 turkeys when they went on sale in November and cook them over the winter and spring. I would make up soup and turkey pies, too.
I was disappointed in my results last fall - the turkeys just seemed tough. In 41 years of cooking, I cannot remember having such abject turkey failures as I did last winter. Is there a better brand of turkey to buy down here? I am used to Shady Brooks and Butterballs.
Are there turkey sales down here? In the past, I could find them on special for 59 or 69 cents a pound.
My pantry is already filling up with stuffing, gravy and dressing makings.
