We often cooked turkeys for Christmas in California. We bought them fresh from a company called Distel, IIRC. I remember them as being very good.

All we do is slather it with butter, put some under the skin of the breast, and roast... and it's absolutely delicious (as long as you don't over cook, of course). Ken, how do you compare the taste of these French turkeys, with what you always used to cook back in your U.S. cooking days? Did you do a turkey? Did you buy it fresh, or frozen? I've had both here, and don't taste a difference.<br />JSeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-62566830064917455962018-01-08T11:36:56.535+01:002018-01-08T11:36:56.535+01:00We live at the other end of the Loire to you, in D...We live at the other end of the Loire to you, in Dept 42, La Loire.
