I am one of them and it is so sad that many familys have to sell out because of taxes. If you can meet your farmer you can see what will and will NOT go in your food. It great that Tana and Barbara got to hear the turkry gobble. Now they know were thier food comes from, not the store in plastic but from the farm were the birds can have a real life!!! Now THATS what I am thankful for! ;):);) please support the dying ways of a small family farm. I am one of them and it is so sad that many familys have to sell out because of taxes.

My mother broke down and bought an organic/free-range bird this year, but when I suggested using wine in the baking, she protested, "But then we won't have any left to drink!" Oh well.

I was quite perplexed about brining the bird this year because I had the same concern about it possibly distorting it's natural flavor. Thanks so much for your post. It was certainly very helpful. -Carmen I am so happy to have came across your blog because we’re cooking a heritage turkey this year for the first time too.

It’s really interesting — the short story is “flavor sacrificed to meet commercial ends. Try a heritage breed for real flavor,” though Burros of course says it more eloquently. If you were lucky enough to get yourself a heritage turkey this year, you can read an account from Barbara at Tigers and Strawberries has some about her first time cooking one. Wanted a heritage turkey but didn’t get yourself one in time? I’m gonna’ do my darndest to remind you in time for next year. And you can still order one for your holiday dinner: start your search here.
