Gobble, Gobble!

It tastes like chicken, eats like chicken, and feels like chicken so why do Americans consume over 15 lbs of turkey every year but not other poultry?

The history of turkey goes all the way back to the Colonial days. It is unsure if the original pilgrims who had the first Thanksgiving ate turkey but it is certain that the Turkey was highly respected as the "True original Native of America." Benjamin Franklin felt so strongly for the bird that he pushed for the turkey to be the National Bird.

Turkey is delicious in so many ways. What is amazing about Turkey is that you can use it in any dish and still make it taste good. Here are some American Favorites: Turkey with Gravy, Turkey with cranberries, Smoked turkey, grilled turkey, fried turkey, and the list goes on.

But instead of knowing OF the turkey recipes, knowing how to make these turkey recipes is more important.
