Just saw the add for never frozen natural turkey at Sprouts for $1.49 a pound and was wondering if they are any good ? Always bought a Butterball ,but this year I'm going to deep fry it and thought maybe I would try a natural turkey . So if anyone has ever had or tried the Turkey from sprouts please let me know if they are any good .

I have shot and eaten many game turkey's and if you prep them right ( soak in Kosher salt for 2 days in the frige ,then season them right ) they are great . Best Tasting turkey I ever shot and ate was in Berkeley County WV in 1982 . The Turkey's at Sprouts are not wild Turkey's as far as I know .

if they taste anything like wild turkey you will be disappointing. Its good but it isn't thanksgiving turkey good. |

Injected them with a Kiltlifter butter marinade that I made at home. 
http://troll.me/images/y-u-no-guy/you-crazy-magician-y-u-no-teach-me-ur-sorcery.jpg Just modified a generic marinade I found online. Here's my steps: 1. make that bird room temp. 2. get the ingredients: 1 Kiltlifter 2 sticks of butter. not the cheap ones, always use good salted butter. 2 tablespoons salt 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 3 tablespoons Green Tabasco 1 tablespoon soy sauce 3 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons onion powder 3. Drink a Kiltlifter. 4. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan until its all heated. 5. Inject the bird. be generous, I usually inject all of it into a 11-13lb bird. wipe off any drips you got, dont want to fry a wet bird. 6. Let it sit for awhile. I let it sit in the oven (off), so that Ares doesn't try to lick it. 7. Preheat oil to 350*. 8. Cook bird at 350* for 3.5 minutes per pound, or 3 minutes per pound + 5 minutes per bird..... depending on how your dad taught you. 9. Drink another Kiltlifter. 10. Remove bird, eat. |

Alton Brown's Butterflied, Dry Brined Roasted Turkey
Best turkey I've ever had. You can skip the panzanella and just put an empty pan beneath it to catch the drippings for gravy. |
