Why is Thanksgiving in November, but yet the NC turkey season is in April.
That’s a long time to have to wait to eat a turkey in the ice box!
Oh I forgot, it’s under government control! Sorry!
Hey that’s an idea!!!!!!! When is their turkey season?
Funny....I'm simmering 4 thighs from this spring's double as I type this. When it falls off the bone I'll shred it up and cook down with spices and herbs, i.e. barbacoa/pulled pork'ish. Making room in the freezer for deer season..... Applied for next year's Turkey permit! Love this time of year!!!
How does it do after that? Dry?
Man and just before thanksgiving!!!!!Which one?

How is it fried like a turkey? I do a 20-25 pounder every thanksgiving for the clan. 25 pounder just will fit in cooker and only then if you truss it up with hay baler twine!It is very lean but tender enough to pull apart and shred with a fork. After that it simmers low and slow with stewed tomatoes, peppers and onions from the garden. As well as chili powder, smoked paprika, bay leaf, s&p, garlic etc. The shredded meat soaks up the juice and melts in your mouth We serve it over rice, on buns or with tortillas. It's even better the next day!

LOL the Tyson's variety can get pretty big too. Though the supermarket frowns upon us sneaking up on them in full camo! And I can't seem to get them to respond to any of my calls...
