TURKEY
lurkey
I don’t eat turkey on holidays. I’ve never liked the pressure of culinary conformity, or any other kind for that matter. I usually have ham or duck. Interestingly enough, I cooked a turkey the week before Thanksgiving this year because they were on sale. But, all of the stories of people burning their houses down while attempting to deep fry their turkey don’t make me want to try that method. I realize those stories are exaggerated to almost urban legend status, but I am simply not enticed. I AM enticed by this next Call focused on urban legends though…
