The Thanksgiving Holiday is upon us, and we are getting down the the wire on getting the turkey. So where will your turkey come from this year? Many shoppers will be hitting grocery stores and Target and Walmart to get their holiday meal and trimmings. So what precisely are you eating?
I am not making an argument for or against eating turkey on Thanksgiving, because that is your personal choice. If you are going to have a bird this year, from whence will it hail? A production farm and jammed full of chemicals, or farm fresh and free range?
Frozen turkey has added chemicals, water and if it is self-basting it has other chemicals added in for "flavor". Providing that you do your homework and purchase from a natural farm that does not use antibiotics in the feed, these turkeys are generally exactly what they say...Turkey.
Please check out the USDA guidelines on turkey for further review. Additionally we have recommended some farms in the Maryland Area on our Local Stuff page where you can find great fresh turkey with no weird additives.
