Soundside Sound It Out: Time to quit the Thanksgiving turkey?
Yes, turkey is an iconic centerpiece. But it’s a challenge.
Turkeys take hours to cook (let alone, defrost!). The results can be dry, flavorless slabs of meat.
If you believe online discourse, a growing number of bold omnivores are calling it quits on Thanksgiving turkey.
And from an animal welfare perspective, there’s a lot of waste and carnage associated with "the national holiday of meat-eating."
We asked Soundside's audience about whether they're moving on from turkey -- and what they might make instead.
