I LOVE to buy local also. Do not get me wrong.

I also assume that whatever turkeys eat goes into them.
What DO they eat that grows that little white and red thing that pops out when they are done???
I am just asking.....

If you want free range, I have seen many a posts here on where to get one.

Last year I got a 20lber.
I had a few neighbors over and the wife gave away ALL of my left overs!!!!
WHAT THE WHAT!!!
Watching football witch a cranberry sandwich is UN American........

So, I ask all turkey raisers out there, is there a 40lb turkey?
Or do they call that an ostrich???
If so, I WANT one of them!

I may need to 5x the family dressing recipe.
