This was my first year cooking Thanksgiving dinner for a large group of friends, but I knew I wanted everyone to enjoy a free-range turkey. We made the drive up to Bay City (1.5 hours from my house) and it was well worth it! Jamie was very sweet, even found some helpful cooking instructions for me online. Our price per pound came about to $2.50, which seemed very reasonable to me. I saw that Kroger was selling turkeys for $.49/lb, but there is NO WAY that their turkeys could possibly taste as good as the one we had. Well worth the price!!

The turkey turned out perfectly and everyone kept saying how it was the best turkey they'd ever had! I rubbed butter and rosemary under the skin which gave it a very nice flavor. It was moist and tender. Even my husband, who insisted that he didn't like turkey because it's always dry, was picking the final bits of meat off the bone!
And it's so nice to know that we still have the opportunity to eat food as it was meant to be...natural, unmedicated, and absolutely delicious :) And people like Jamie are the ones who keep the "eat local" effort alive by being inspired to raise happy, healthy turkeys.
So...thanks Jamie!
