I was researching turkey trivia when I found an odd fact from the Southern Farm Network. They claim that 19 million turkeys are eaten on Easter. Minnesota and Illinois Farm Extensions agree with this number. (However, they could have all found it from the same wrong source.)
I have had turkey for Easter because I had a Jewish friend at our table, so I couldn’t serve ham. However, I didn’t buy that turkey in the spring; it had lived in my freezer since the previous fall.
So this is my question. Have you had turkey for Easter? I thought we were doing something unique, but apparently, 19 million other households were doing the same thing. Are you one of these families?
