These turkeys have legs! After a call from a Newstalk researcher on Friday, I was on the Tom Dunne show yesterday morning, talking about keeping – and harvesting – turkeys for Christmas.
You can listen from here and my interview starts about 21 minutes in. And the picture? That’s one of my bronze turkeys, hissing at me as I bring food closer to him. Grateful animals? I think not!

Way-hay that was an excellent interview Caroline. Just listened back to it – don’t you just love podcasts! Your turkeys sound delicious. I am feeling guilty thinking about Christmas before Halloween.Best of luck with the Harvest 🙂
I know! It does seem strange to be thinking of Christmas so early in the year but those turkeys need plenty of time for growin’. And I’m hoping that it will give me lots of time to think about things like stuffing variations and cooking times!
