Making it through my first Thanksgiving dinner without any food poisoning, complaints or undercooked turkey My second Thanksgiving turkey was green when I unwrapped it. Note: do not store turkey in garage in lieu of fridge space, it is NOT the same thing. ANYWAY, panic ensued, quick argument with dh as to the likelihood of the green just being something perfectly normal. Even did an internet search on 'green turkey' but the results weren't good, sooooo...a quick trip to the grocery store for a cheap replacement. Initial turkey = organic, led a happy life, 14lbs. Replacement turkey = closest it came to organic was probably when it ate poop, doubtful on the happiness, 24lbs. People were giving thanks that they got fed before midnight.
