Turkeys Take 2

Warning! There is a picture of a recently killed turkey in this post!

This morning we just couldn't take the turkeys anymore. They were everywhere, dirty everything, and we were afraid they were losing weight. So, we had the killing. It took lots of boiled water and 6 hands in the mix. It wasn't pretty and the smell wasn't that great either. The cleaning took longer than anything. Faustina, our wedding buffet chef, came and directed the whole fiasco. She did a great job and kept everything under control. I, on the other hand, couldn't witness the event, it was too much for me. Javier, the little boy pictured above, didn't understand why we were killing the turkeys - we only had them in the house for a week! He wanted a picture as remembrance of their good times together this past week.
So, I have 3 big fat turkeys in my freezer right now, all seasoned and ready for cooking when the time comes next week. It was an interesting way to start Christmas.

Hope you all have a happy and interesting Christmas, too.
