Talking turkey

Golden promise

This year we had a Golden Promise turkey for Thanksgiving. It was expensive, but I’m pleased to say it was worth every penny. I’ve never eaten better. Which is good, because we’ll be eating it for a while.

Yesterday, we had bird-meat sandwiches. Today, I’m doing Turkey Burritos and tomorrow, Thai Green Turkey. That should just about finish it off, though Mac will, as always, use the carcass to make soup.

Incidentally, the last time we had Thai Green Chicken, Mac used this recipe for the paste. It substitutes lemon zest for kaffir lime leaves. We didn’t have any dried shrimp, so she used a teaspoon of light soy instead. It was tasty.

And, talking of turkeys, news of the one that got away: ABC reports on the Presidential Turkey Pardon.
