Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 They don't show it on the web site, but they have an "oven ready turkey" that is just great. Found it at: http://www.batesturkey.com/ProdDetail.aspx?pid=15 Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi All, My husband and I will be traveling to his parents house this Thanksgiving. The in-laws are aware of SCD but do not fully understand all of it nor do I expect them too. I am hoping to fix some legal sides to take along to share but I am concerned about the turkey. I've been eyeing the birds in the grocery store and see that all of the brands contain sugar in the solution. Is this one of those things that is an exception to the rule and is legal? Does anyone know of a legal brand so I can tell my in-laws? Perhaps the answer is a fresh bird. Please let me know what you have done for your Thanksgiving turkey. Thanks, Holly O.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks, I don't see any info on additives, but I trust you have checked this out and it's only turkey. Judging from the turkeys in my supermarket, they will have me as a customer too. PJ > >Does anyone know of a legal brand so I can tell > >my in-laws?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't eat it anymore but when I did, I found that turkey from whole foods didn't contain any kind of sugar solution. I noticed that I was getting ill after work's holiday party each year and happened to notice one year that it said " sugar " on the bag. Oops!

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I think to be safe you will need a fresh bird and possible organic. I talked to the butcher once (pre-SCD) and asked him why on earth they use sugar basting solutions on the turkeys. He curled his lip a bit and said :My husband and I will be traveling to his parents house this Thanksgiving.

Does anyone know of a legal brand so I can tell my in-laws? Perhaps the answer is a fresh bird. Please let me know what you have done for your Thanksgiving turkey. I suspect you will need a fresh bird or organic to get " pure " turkey. Once I asked the butcher why on earth they use a sugar basting solution and he said " it's just so they can keep them in good shape frozen longer than they should be frozen " . Last week our grocery store had a 50% off special on turkeys and DH (who does most of the shopping for us) asked if he should get one. I reminded him of our rule that a 2% basting solution is probably OK, anything over that has sugar. But I told him to go ahead and get a turkey for himself, which he did. And this one listed an 8% basting solution! I've never seen one that high! I didn't even take a nibble and he now has an awful lot of packages of turkey in the freezer (on his shelves, we have a his-and-hers but segregated freezer).

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hi Holly, Go to eatwild.com and get a bird for them from a local farmer. It will be fresh plukd and probably the best bird they have ever had. Goooooo EATWILD Anne G > > Hi All, > > My husband and I will be traveling to his parents house this Thanksgiving.

They have a store are Mile 130 on I-65 -- Harry and I stop there every time we drive up to Atlanta. I get the plain roasted turkey, Harry gets other things. I had been getting my turkeys from a local farmer, but Katrina and post-Katrina issues forced him out of business. So, in casting around for a Really Good Turkey, I went ahead and ordered two last year -- one for Thanksgiving, and one for Christmas. They arrived solidly frozen, defrosted nicely, and cooked up wonderfully. I have two on order for this year. Be careful of their other turkey products -- the smoked turkey used to be SCD safe as it was cured wityh honey. However, that changed in the last five years and now they're using <sigh> sugar. However, my husband who is not SCD, says their other turkey stuff is delicious, so you might want to consider it for the non-SCDers in your family. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend the Bates because they are a relatively small company who, although they have been asked and asked to franchise their foods, refuse to expand out of their small area because they could not control the quality of their turkeys. These birds are free-range in pecan groves. And they taste like it. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
