Chance to taste heritage turkeys

Yes, it’s true; heritage turkey tastes different than a Butterball. And it’s kind of scary to think about how the friends and family will respond to such a huge change to the Thanksgiving meal if you can’t even vouch for the taste. Here’s a great opportunity to taste five different heritage breeds in preparation for Thanksgiving 2010. Shaw Family Farm is donating Narragansett, Bourbon Red, White Holland, Royal Palm, and Blue Slate turkeys for this event.
