Thanksgiving Turkey the Old Fashioned Way

Meet "Thanksgiving" our dinner turkey. She was given to me at the State Fair this year and we decided to fatten her up for a Thanksgiving dinner over at our friend's house. Turkeys are smelly (they poop a lot), stupid animals, and they eat too much feed. I was glad to be done with this bird, and share this blessing of a free turkey with the Fischers, Boldizars, Corles, and our combined 16 children.

If you come to Wake Forest, do not drink the water.

Didn't you or the kids develop any kind of emotional attachment to the bird? Also, like a few of the others, I was a bit shocked at your killing stroke. It seemed to me that the animal wasn't cleanly killed but if you know for sure that it was killed instantly, I'll take your word for it.

Only scummy muslims with their stupid halal killing would let an animal suffer. Suffering and pain are part of everything the muslims do.

@nightowl8936, our children have been taught from an early age not to develop emotional attachments to farm animals. I believe in treating animals well both in life and death. Any animal I process is killed quickly and humanely.

You'd be horrified to know that many chickens you find in grocery stores are killed by having their throats slit, halal style.

Home raised turkey and an Entenmann's cake! That's irony there! I would love to pick up a few acres so that I could raise my own food as well.

@MrBreadman03 LOL. Not everyone who attended our Thanksgiving dinner that year was of like-mind. There was plenty of commercial food-like product available as well.

th blade was bowed and it did not kill her. There were children witnessing this torture and murder. They are America's next Serial Killer reality show stars.

@teawithsu You are completely wrong. Have you ever processed a bird before? What you are seeing is the standard neurological response from any domestic foul once the spine is severed. Please take your ad hominem attacks elsewhere.

Great to see the home practise of killing and eating meat at home continue! Many of the inane comments posted here come form idiots who eat in McDonalds or KFC and think the food they are eating is havested from the ground or grows on trees, people have NO sense of reality!!

LMAO.
