from poult to platter

These are Julia's 4-H turkeys, taken sometime in August when they were just a few weeks old. Three are hers; the rest belong to other 4H-ers.









Here they are about three months old, early November.













On Monday, November 23, we loaded the turkeys up and took them to the butcher. (Well, some of the 4H-ers took them. We didn't want to watch the butchering.)









We picked the turkeys up and delivered Julia's sponsors' turkeys Tuesday evening. We brined ours Wednesday and cooked it in the rotisserie. OMG! It was the absolute best turkey I've ever eaten!


Happy Thanksgiving!
