This is an old and re-used posting. Feasts, family, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, football and the Black Turkey recipe.
People often request it.
There have been discussions on rec.food.cooking among people who have actually made it, but I must confess that I haven't tried it. It seems very labor-intensive but it is supposed to be quite good. I'm not sure who originally wrote this piece, I certainly didn't, but I hope you enjoy it. For about a dozen years, at the approach of turkey-eating season, I have been trumpeting to all who would listen, and to a good many who would rather not, that there is only one way to cook a turkey. This turkey is not my turkey.
