My Thanksgiving turkey this year is
a Midget
White
from
Townline Farm.
It's just now getting big and fat
in preparation for being my tasty
dinner.
The reason your Thanksgiving dinner is always dry and tasteless is because the Broadbreasted White turkey everyone raises is freakish and nasty. The New York Times had a good series of articles about this two years ago.
The turkey you'll be eating could never exist in nature. After 50
years of overengineering, it has morphed into a bizarre, ungainly
beast that can no longer run, fly or even lay eggs. And all in the
name of progress: what it can do is supply copious quantities of white
breast meat at the expense of the dark meat from the leg and thigh.
There are several
heritage
turkey breeders out there. You may be too late this year, but
remember it for next year!
