On November 27 this year, I have my first Thanksgiving turkey dinner. It is also the first time the whole turkey (excludes its head and organs) is served on my plate.
Initially, I did not have the idea to buy the turkey for Thanksgiving. We did not cook Turkey before and we do not know how to cook it.
On the eve of Thanksgiving day, we went to grocery shopping at H-E-B nearby. There are many people doing their last minute shopping for Thanksgiving meals.
One H-E-B associate passed me a voucher. Whoa... buy one fully-cooked Turkey and get free 8 stuffs (Aluminium foil, packet mash potato, 12 cans of carbonate water, packet spinach, a loaf of bread, bacon, and etc). Good deal right?! After 15 minutes of searching the smallest (and cheapest) turkey, I brought it home.
Compared to normal chicken that we ate, the turkey is very big to us.
We did not eat much in the lunch, as we prepare our stomach for the dinner.
YY cut out one turkey leg and one small part of turkey breast from dinner. However, we still struggle to finish them all. Unlike our normally eat chicken, turkey meat is very lean. There is only some small amount of fat, and the fat is gathered together in one small area. They are very easy to be handled and removed.
We keep the remaining turkey meat for future meals. It took us one week to finish them all, even though we eat the turkey almost every day!
