(not just any) Turkey for Thanksgiving



This year we will have the pleasure of having a turkey that Liz raised on her farm on Cape Cod called "Not Enough Acres".  Well, it's not HER farm, but she works there. I took these pictures when we visited in October. 

She will be bringing home a 23-pounder on the plane on Tuesday.... in her backpack she thinks. She is going to inquire at the Chatham Fish Pier as to how to pack and transport the turkey at the right temperature. Since they ship fish all over the world they might have some insight as to how to ship a turkey. (Can you bring dry ice on a plane?) I dread the thought of this organic turkey being confiscated at the Boston airport.

The plan is to brine it on Wednesday.  Not for more than 12 hours  - we don't want to pickle it.  I will let you know how it goes.
