Guest guest Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 We yank those giblets out once the turkey is thawed enough. We're going to try something one of my cooks recommended, spray the frozen turkey with cooking spray first and then rub it with sage, rosemary and thyme, or whatever...

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Whew, graphic! But I certainly admire you and I feel that if one eats meat is is necessary to be involved in the entire process rather than just " buy and eat " without knowing anything about how the meat got on your plate. When you eat a piece of meat that you hunted for, I'm sure you have the utmost respect for it. Nice website ! Jacquelyn A.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 , PLEASE come to my house and relieve me of some of these turkeys! They reintroduced them in Maine and we are over run with the dang things. I saw a tom outside my window one day with 40 hens and 2 jakes following him. And aren't they ugly!
