Turkey Talk II

Last year, the Abbotts cooked a salted turkey for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful. We were all set to do the same this year. Until… the Fearless Flyer arrived. Or at least we thought it was the Fearless Flyer (that’s the title of the Trader Joe’s circular). But the title of this particular publication was Food Pilgrimager . (Is it a special issue of the Fearless Flyer or some sort of ‘occasional publication’ from Trader Joe’s? Maybe an ISBN or the Audit Bureau of Circulation itself could shed some light on this question.)

No matter. What the Pilgrimager told us was that Trader Joe’s is selling already-brined fresh turkeys. Quicker than you can say ‘Pirate’s Booty,’ I was at the Trader Joe’s at Movietown Plaza.

How will our store-brined bird turn out? Check back in a few days. If I know Trader Joe, though, I’m guessing it will be gobble-gobble-good!

POST-THANKSGIVING UPDATE
The turkey was fantastic! Get a Trader Joe’s Brined Turkey and you’ve got a party.
