Buying an SCD legal Turkey

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I went grocery shopping to pick up a turkey breast and decided against it.

Mostly because I don't understand all the ingrediants. I looked at the

Butterball turkey breast and saw that it had additives to make it tender. What

do I do for Thanksgiving day? Does anyone buy a specific brand? I have heard

the fresh kill turkeys are a little harder to cook and can come out tougher. I

would prefer picking up a frozen turkey from the supermarket.

I used to bast a turkey with butter all day. Unfortunately I can only tolerate

goats milk butter and there isn't any in my area. It is an hour drive to

WholeFoods and if it isn't there I will call around. Is there anything else

like olive oil and herbs that I can use or will it not cook the same?

This is the first Thanksgiving I am hosting for my husband's family since I have

been married. I used to be a good cook until you people ~ took away my

goods!!! The good news is the sister who is coming to dinner eats healthy and

is very open to the SCD ideas. So any suggestions would be great.

Take Care,

Val

They have appropriate ones at WFs and TJs. Try the organic

brands.

What is WFs and TJs? I live in Florida and have never heard of them. I am

hoping it is an abbreviation. Do you recall the name brand of the bird? Is WF

WholeFoods? I have a shot at that!

I get my turkeys, oven-ready, from Bates Turkey Farm in Alabama. They

ship, and the birds are excellent.

Val,

ordering an organic one would work. If you want one from a grocer, Empire

Kosher turkeys, found in many grocery stores may be SCD legal. The person at

Digestive Wellness would know. Might be best to send her a note at Digestive

Wellness, then can check with the company. Or she may have a letter from the

company.

No. The Bates smoked turkeys used to be legal, but they changed to using

brown sugar instead of honey in their smoking. THe only ones which are

legal are the oven-ready ones.
