For Thanksgiving, we bought an all-natural, fresh, young, turkey. We've had the brand before and been pleased. This year, it was definately not worth the extra $/pound. I was suspicious the entire time it cooked as it hardly gave up any juice--I kept having to baste with melted butter and chicken broth. It ended up being one of the most disappointing birds I've ever cooked. Very flavorless and tough. Between getting very little sleep the last few nights and waking up with a cold yesterday morning, I stood in the kitchen and cried!
Topped with some gravy and fresh cranberries, it wasn't terrible, but still a bit of a let-down (at least to me). Of course there was a lot else to eat, so we didn't have to worry about starving!
Anyone else ever get a "surprise" turkey like this?
