Last Spring my husband took the kids to Rural King and came home with 6 peeps and a turkey. I always wanted a turkey to watch roam around the yard. He has turned out to be a great source of entertainment for us and the kids. blog
He also has been a great source of poop. He is now eye level with our five year old who loves to kiss and hug him every chance she gets.
Thanksgiving is drawing near and we have To Decide what to do with him. We were going to drop him off at a farm. I just can' t imagine butchering him at home. He is and nice and meaty though. I think the best choice is to take him to a local butcher shop and have them do the dirty work. I will keep you posted on our decision.
