]]> Comment on The Quest for the Excellent Turkey. by Ankita http://scottschickenblog.com/2010/12/the-quest-for-the-excellent-turkey/comment-page-1/#comment-28926 Ankita Sat, 20 Oct 2012 05:35:43 +0000 http://scottschickenblog.com/?p=285#comment-28926 The best turkey I have ever cokoed was this last thanksgiving. I brined it first which means simply that you soak it in a brine over night the day before. I used a cooler with ice blocks in it to keep it cool.There are manyrecipes for brines that you can find on allrecipes.com or the food network. I used one by Emeril Lagasse. It had wine in it, orange juice and pickling salt, ginger root etc. Go to the food network and check out Emerils recipes. After that I put carrots and oranges, onions that were quartered and celery inside the cavity of the bird with lots of butter and salt and pepper. I used 1 cup apple cider and about a cup of chicken broth to make the juice that I roasted the turkey in. I put it at 325 for as many hours as it says to per pound. The brining is the secret. It is moist and juicy and so flavor filled. I will never not brine again. The best turkey I have ever cokoed was this last thanksgiving.

Just a few examples from my diet. Before going organic' I had had to give up pizza, really anything with tomato sauce. I could not eat bananas, milk or ice cream, just to name a few things. I would get heart burn, indigestion, etc. After going organic(natural) we both can enjoy pizza again! It's great. I'm eating organic bananas, no problems! We get raw milk so no more problems there, and can make our own ice cream, delicious! Chocolate tastes better, the cereal and breads have a more robust flavor.Now, we are sticklers and label readers, you have to be, there are many companies out there that are unscrupulous. I DO NOT buy anything organic' in a can. They have to be kidding me!! I generally do not purchase food from publicly traded companies. (Meaning the brand name stuff) I stick with the little producers, and usually local. We also make many items folks buy in stores. Jams, jelly, cookies, peanut butter, butter all can be made at home.One other great thing about eating oglinacarly, you're actually getting the nutrition your body needs out of the food(whole foods) so you eat less! What a great plus.Again, folks have to be careful, especially shopping at the Kroger, Farmer Jacks, where ever be selective, read labels, ask questions. Right now 60% of the food at the grocery store contains GMO's. The American people need to do what you're doing, study what you eat. Investigate. You'll be glad you did.

Many other producers do use arsenic-containing feed to kill parasites and promote growth. Evidently your superior chicken raising operations produce healthy chickens without the need for arsenic in the feed.

How is the Organic different from your regular Chicken and in the organic is the feed GMO corn or soy or any grain used for that matter? It is important to me to know this as I have health issues and no gmo's for me at this time. I am reading your site regarding Organic.
