Okay... I'm going to have to out myself here... I'm a professor of analytical chemistry. Several years ago, one of my senior's capstone research project was to analyze grass-fed beef and feed-lot beef for total calcium and magnesium in the flesh. The results were shocking! In some cases the concentration of calcium and magnesium was 5X higher in the grass fed beef. The grass-fed beef was not 5X more expensive!!!!!Turkey baby had a much better life than any turkey you can buy in a market. Watch a documentary called “What the Health” (available on Netflix) and it shows how bad the quality of commercial farmed meat can be. Very disturbing, and yes it’s propaganda but it’s true. So whether or not you’re going to be an omnivore, IMHO you should educate yourself - “Big Agra” use of antibiotics, pesticides and GMO means it’s getting more and more difficult to find quality food supplies.
Thanks, Larry, for the support. I really appreciate it.Turkey baby had a much better life than any turkey you can buy in a market.
That documentary also discusses what’s in the feed they give the animals, and how sick and heavily dosed with antibiotics they are. (This goes up the food chain, as we eat, and has many adverse health effects on humans). I’m not going to try to recount it here, but anyone who eats needs to know more about this, because it affects us all.Okay... I'm going to have to out myself here...

I’m surprised you were able to eat Turkey Baby. I always figured once you name them it’s hard to eat them. Who knew!WARNING: The following content may not be suitable for all audiences!

Turkey Baby was always peeping, always crying.

Turkey Baby could be distinguished from his fellow turkeys by his position. Ever the loner. The other three, Maxine, the one jenny, and the toms, Dick & Harry hung out together.

While the three other turkeys could easily find their way in and out of the coup, Turkey Baby needed help. I carried him in and out, up and down and placed food directly in front of Turkey Baby. It turned out, Turkey Baby had heavy cataracts and was mostly blind. His eyes were very cloudy.

In the end, Turkey Baby was the choice for dinner because, even though he was my favorite, he also had the hardest life and couldn't find his water dish on his own.
Sad as it was, he was the runt of the group, but he still dressed out at 28lbs.

Probably the best tasting turkey I've ever had.
I still miss Turkey Baby.
