Note from Cheri: Turkey has a long and rich history in America. It was very likely that turkey was served at the Pilgrim's original feast, and Americans haven't looked back since, making it the most popular culinary centerpiece of the holiday. Benjamin Franklin even thought the Turkey, and not the Eagle, should be America's National Bird. Turkey is a smart choice when you need to feed crowd, especially if you don't have a lot of money. A year round bargain, grocery stores practically give turkeys away during the holidays. In fact, some stores actually do GIVE away FREE turkeys when you buy a designated amount of other groceries. Chances are you'll need to buy other ingredients, so getting a free, or nearly free turkey is easy. Check the offers at various markets in your area. Of course, if budget allows, a fresh, all-natural turkey will yield the ultimate results. You can order these through a local natural foods market. There is virtually no difference, taste-wise, between a Hen and a Tom turkey.
