    anyone else get these? I was watching the cooking channel or was it food network. Well anyways it was one of them and someone mentioned these to be the best turkeys you could get.

    So, I called my local meat guy and he is ordering in one for me. They cost a bit more than the frozen ones, but I was wondering if you do the farm fresh are they worth the extra price?

    I've not tried one. My dad had wild turkey but didn't like it.

    I curretly have 4 frozen turkeys in our freezer and I"m sure we'll end up with more while they are such a good price. can't beat .29 per pound.

    Don't get me wrong I will stock up on the frozen for the rest of the year. Since we have cut out most our beef and other red meats out of our diet, I will be stocking up on turkey to add in throughout the year.

    You are getting them for .29 per pound? Here they are like .89+ a pound.

    Farm fresh is great only if they were raised well. I have had both good farm fresh and some awful farm fresh. It also depends on whether the animal was butchered properly or not. I can't tell you how much I hate pulling pin feathers out of my meal :(

    Growing up my dad raised our turkeys. The turkeys were great as long as they were young. The older turkeys had tough meat.
