Do you eat a wild turkey or store bought turkey for Thanksgiving? My wife always buys a fresh bird from the grocery store. I'm ok with that because I figure we save the best for us instead of wasting my wild birds on company.
I can't stand store bought turkey. I prefer a venison ham for thanksgiving and save my wild birds for fried nuggets throughout the year.

Yes. Store bought baked in oven the traditional way for the more uppity members of the family, and a smoked wild breast(or 2) basted in honey for those of us who like real food :drool:
We don't have a fall turkey season and any spring turkey is all eaten long before November.

Same
My mother-in-law buys both a turkey and a ham, and since she makes me pecan pie, I eat whatever she sets on the table. ;)
The wife and daughter don't like turkey....they will eat it, but prefer not to. Tommorow we are having pork roast. :z-dizzy: :z-dizzy:
Although I still have a couple breasts in the freezer we'll be eating store bought turkey tomorrow. I save the breasts for smoking, pan fried strips or the Caribbean jerk recipe. Hope everyone has a safe and happy day with their loved ones!
for the general rule no i dont. i try to have a wild bird ready
Depends on the crowd vote. This year it is wild. Per the request of my wife's family. Last year was the first time they tried wild.

Exactly...The best part is the pecan pie, I just go with whatever else gets put on the table.
I prefer to eat wild but seeing how my in laws usually make the dinner, I don't complain...lol

Tame, unfortunately. And we have to buy it and cook the greasy butterball. I don't have a hunting family but most would eat a wild bird. However there is one member that doesn't want to eat something that has been killed or know it's been killed I guess. This is the kind of person that has those rat sized poodles with lousy teeth, bark constantly and they crawl all over her lap. The poodles can't be left alone so when they come up my dogs have to go in the kennel. Which is good I guess, because my dogs would just retrieve the dang things. I have 2 nice young fall birds plucked and in the freezer. They would be delicious but we can't eat those.
Ok and of rant...happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Sorry I brought it up. :lol: :TooFunny:
Store bought here. But who cares the sides are the best part anyway.
