Alternatives to Butterball Turkeys
By Stett Holbrook
THANKSGIVING is just a few weeks away. This year, instead of buying an insipid factory-farmed bird that has been injected with water and salt to improve its flavor and texture, try a turkey that tastes like a turkey. Yes, they cost more but Thanksgiving is a once-a-year celebration. Why not serve the good stuff? Try Andronico's, Whole Foods or contact producers directly at the websites below.
