Choosing the Right Holiday Turkey

Selecting a high-quality turkey is essential for a healthy holiday feast. Avoid frozen turkeys injected with water and oils, as they often contain harmful additives. Opt for pasture-raised turkeys fed a proper diet, like those from specific local farms, ensuring better taste and health benefits. Reading labels and choosing heritage breeds can also guide you toward a healthier choice for your holiday meal.
