I hate these things

You would starve at our house. We "all natural" raise 40 to 50 turkeys a year for our extended family who also take a good many wild turkeys every year.
If there is a cook in the house turkey has many options and around here is appreciated every time. BTW Thanksgiving feast is a great feast of the best foods of the year prepared in the best ways! Having it more than once a month would cheapen the experience!

I'm glad it's good at your house. I bet my opinion might be different if I were there.

My mom always makes deviled eggs and green bean casserole. It's terrible. It's green beans inside a goop with a crunchy crust on top.

I like green beans, but plain with a simple bouillon cube. These majority of the dishes brought to the spread are only made once a year and are not perfected.

Starving pilgrims had to figure out ways to eat yams and pumpkins but I don't think it's a tradition worth recreating every year.

Before I had kids, I'd like to come in midday from to woods. I'd say hello to everyone, pick at the food a bit, say I'm not really hungry and I'm chasing a big buck. Then Id say goodbye grab an enormous sized piece of pecan pie because it's the best food there and head back towards the wood line.

Now I have kids and inadvertently spend a lot more time hanging out with relatives on both sides then hunting the rut.

I feel like I should be less like a starving pilgrim and more like a whooping native american chasing animals through the woods. Maybe that's just me wanting to break out of the normal…

What is it you hate about them? Never known a hunter to get so emotional about such a tasty treat...lol... Now I hate 'dillo's...
 
2 parts dark meat plus 1 part Boston Butt.

Cook to 165 internal, no higher. Best sausage you will ever eat.

I made 5lbs Sweet Italian and 5lbs Kielbasa a couple weeks ago

I'd rather hunt them than deer but had rather kill a big buck. I know you have folks turkey hunt it but when they're done come spring I'll be happy to try and take another couple out of there. 😇

Unfortunately, most of them have moved into the bottoms come spring. They are far more of a pest late summer into fall.

When is fall season?

Fall shotgun turkey was Oct 12-25. Archery ran concurrent with archery deer. But now that we are in ML, you can't kill them legally until spring season next year.
