  6. Last year we made a Marys turkey and everyone loved it and raved – I spatchcocked the turkey and roasted it, which really seemed to help the turkey stay moist in the white meat and have the dark done at the same time. This year we are trying what we call chompipe in El Salvador, a heritage turkey to Americans, and I am anxious to see how it tastes.

  15. So this video really made me do some homework. Of course you can find a butterball most anywhere, Mary’s is kind of difficult to find. I only found Mary’s in my local snooty grocery store (I love them but they’re expensive) and they had 3 choices. I ended up going overboard and bought Mary’s premium “Heritage” variety at about 6.99/lb (most I’ve ever paid for a turkey). This bird had so much fat and a lot of excess thick skin. While it was tasty, it cooked surprisingly fast and I had to make a lot of adjustments along the way. As enjoyable as it was, I’ll never spend that much on a turkey again. I can’t say I was ever disappointed with a butterball or honeysuckle.

  18. I have been eating Thanksgiving turkey all my 75 years and do not recall any turkey that had an off flavor. Then along come these people, and they ALL taste bad. Not very likely! They claim the one they dislike the least is non-GMO. That's silly. Turkeys have been bred for meatiness for at least 300 years, And the turkey they recommend costs $2.69 a pound, while a hen turkey at my supermarket is $1.79.

  25. Fact: Plainville Farms originally based in Plainville, NY has not been based in Upstate Since 2008. The Plainville Name is owned by The Hain Pure Protien Group since 2007 took the name to New Oxford, Pennsylvania at the end of 2008. The Plant in Plainville was converted into a Kosher Processing Plant and the name was changed Kosher Valley Foods which began production in April 2009 and haulted May 2010 after the Kosher Valley was bought out by Empire Foods. Which to lead to the closure of the Plainville Plant…..how do I know this to be true. I worked there from 2004-2010.

  28. It would make more sense to test brands that are prevalent in the WHOLE country. This show is broadcast nationally, but they test like everyone lives on east coast. Hey idiots, the Pacific ocean is off the coast of California, not Pennsylvania.
