I wonder what they are pumping into the turkeys that we eat? For the last many years one or more of my family has gotten ill from eating store bought turkey. I am concerned and that is why I want to raise my own. At least I know what they are eating and no harmful chemicals. I'm grumbling because this is the second year in a row that I have come down with a flu-ish thing after Thanksgiving...
Annika Fighting to make the organic turkey affordable to everyone *GRRRR* Read Rebekka's found article, Organic can work for everyone.
UGG! I never thought of that ! D'OH!!!! I'm gonna raise the little gobblers anyhoo, even if I can't eat them. I'm hoping that a turkey tractor range life and organic diet/living will render them edible to those of us that have a problem with the meat. Darn! I love turkey, I hope it'd just a reaction to something that they get dosed with Sorry, benedryl makes me silly as a goose.
Wishing you joy in small things and peace in your heart
Annika - I had the same thing happen to me four years in a row when I was in my twenties. I finally discovered it was the oyster dressing that I was eating with the turkey that made me sick. Fluish- just like you mentioned. Now I never eat oysters.
We were extravagant this Thanksgiving and purchased a big organically-raised turkey from a local farmer. There was no comparison to storebought, quite amazing actually, the difference in flavor and texture...and, no one got the after-dinner bloated and tired feeling we normally all do. I will never eat another storebought turkey and I too plan on raising a dozen or so this coming year along with our meatbirds. Di
Commercial turkeys make me ill
