Thanksgiving has now come and gone and most of us are recovering from our tryptophan hangovers. Obviously, the turkeys are no longer gobbling in the pasture. Good thing, too...there is now close to a foot of snow out there. Anyway, the turkeys very much exceeded our expectations with their amazing growth. The hens dressed out at 22, 24, 24, and 27 pounds. In case you need a reference for how heavy that is, my car alarmed at me as I was delivering them because they were sitting in the passenger seat and were not buckled in.
We prepared the other half of Big Ken for our dinner. That was another 18 pounds of amazing pastured turkey. Brining is a winner.
