Tips on How To Pick Out a Turkey For Thanksgiving

In case you had not noticed now more than ever shoppers have a variety of types of turkeys, beyond just the name brand.

This weekend when I was at the grocery store, I was walking past the trough of frozen turkeys when I noticed more than one person closely examining them. One guy was shaking the turkey and another was tapping on it like a drum. Now I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish but I did come across this great article from dfw.com about different variety's of Turkey.

I know in the past we always bought the brand that had the button that popped out when it was done. :) Whatever turkey you buy, click on the link above to take the guess work out of thawing and cooking whatever type of turkey you decide to get.
