A Homegrown Thanksgiving Bird

He is delicious. Melts like warm butter in your mouth.

I should offer a weekend get away package with classes. LOL

I always get a frozen turkey from work too but this year we'll give it away and try our own. In fact, I have two turkeys in the freezer right now that I need to give away from years past.

Jared, I urge you if you are going to give away those frozen birds, please take them to your local Food Bank/ Food Pantry charity so another family can have a wonderful holiday meal too.

I will probably do that this year. Usually I just donate it to DW's or my own family's Thanksgiving or Christmas meals but this year everyone on both sides of the family have been taken care of with homegrown birds so the food bank idea is a great option.

This was my first year raising turkey !

I processed 3 in one day with 3 roosters (processing the chickens compared to the turkeys was like doing chicken nuggets)

They were so big I had to put in freezer of our local coffee house!
It was not going in my side by side!!

wow this all sounds great, we have some turkeys we plan to process for Thanks Giving, do they have to be a certain age?? The tom shown in the pic looks older.
here is one of my girls, I know they are girls because they lay eggs very large eggs.

What is the best way and time to kill???
