Bonny, Wayne is a dark meat guy.
I wonder if he could get some free range legs and thighs?
Just ask the butcher. Might save you a big headache.

I'm not worried, Bonny.

Wayne has been eating regular turkey his whole life.

Why he got it into his head a couple of years ago, that we should try "free range", is beyond me.

(He probably saw it on Food Network, or something.) wink

If he really wants free range, he can take it up to Conor's house, and cook it there.

I'm making our usual feast. smile

With a normal bird. biggrin

Buy a normal bird, pass it off as free range, and donate the free range. The ole switcharoo!

Tell him to feed shop cat with the free range turkey! You go girl! Your kitchen, your decision!

How odd. My mom always gets a free range bird through the co-op, and it is fabulous. Lots of white meat and dark, and delicious. I prefer it to the basic ones you get at the supermarket.
I go with your compromise, but see if there is a different brand rather than the one you tried last year, and try a bite. It seems to me you got a bad one for some reason.

Dona, if your Mom has been doing it for years, maybe that's what you got used to, and it tastes fine. And, that's great! smile

I tried roasting it once.

And, it didn't taste good, or even smell good, to me. cry

I was more than happy to give it a try.

I won't ever, do that again. (With turkey.)

I'm hoping it won't come to that, SB.

The free range bird, costs 3 or 4 times, what the regular turkey costs.

And, it didn't taste good. cry

I wouldn't have the heart, to donate it.

That would be cruel.

LOL, IKWTDS!

Shop Cat, would probably turn her nose up at that free range turkey.

She'll still kill rats, around the plant.

But, she'll just leave them in a line, for Wayne to see.

She doesn't eat them, anymore, and just leave the heads. She knows what her job is. Kill the rats. wink

I agree, that it's my kitchen.

And, I should make what I KNOW, will come out good. smile

I love the butter ball turkey.

I do too...or the frozen publix Turkey. .39 a pound last year! And delicious.
