Turkey Farm
Would you consider an 8 day old heritage turkey from a farm to be fresh?
I am kind of ticked. I made arrangements months ago to get a heritage turkey from a local farm. I expected to pick that up Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving. I would have expected for it to have been slaughtered sometimes Tuesday-Wednesday.
I got an email last night that the turkeys are ready for pickup today. I told them that if I got it now, it would be 5 days old by Thanksgiving. I keep poultry 3-4 days. They said that the turkeys were slaughtered 11/14 because it was the closest that they could get to Thanksgiving. So the turkey would really be 8 days old by Thanksgiving. She told me that a turkey can be kept for 10 days at 32 degrees.
I’m not sure what to do. I was excited to try a “Heritage Breed”, but I am ticked at the idea of paying a premium, and driving out to get an 8 day old turkey for Thanksgiving. I am wondering if that is as old as turkeys in the store. I am wondering if the turkey will be gross by day 8.
I would be pissed off.
I called butterball because my turkey was going to be defrosted completely 3 days before Thanksgiving. They told me that would be too long even in the fridge…so mine is still in the freezer. Can they freeze it atleast????
8 days is too long and would make me nervous

New technology and genetics have created turkeys that grow faster and heavier in shorter amounts of time. The industry’s profits have come at great cost to animal welfare, and animal suffering is now an inherent part of modern-day turkey production. The narrated presentatio… |
