It is the month in which we celebrate Thanksgiving. The icon and centerpiece of our celebration is... THE BIRD. These wild turkeys (the original BIRDS!) crossed my path today and nicely posed for a photo. Look how long and lean they are compared to the fat, broad breasted birds we buy at the store! I imagine the wild turkeys are a far cry to eat compared to the commercial ones we buy today.I ordered two locally raised free range turkeys for the upcoming holiday today, (we cook two... one a traditionally roasted bird, one smoked.) It is November and time to think about Turkeys and company and the festivities that encircle the gratitude that we have throughout the year. That is a big burden to put on the backs of birds, don't you think?
Happy November!

Hate to tell you, but the wild turkey hunters I know all skin out the birds (ticks, lice) and keep only the breast meat! Apparently the dark meat is pretty gamey for our tastes (how spoiled we are!).
