It seems though everyone is eating leftover turkey for a week or two after the holiday, and trying to find ways to make it different--bread, butter, turkey sandwich, plus potatoes, yams etc.
But a surprising amount of the birds end up being thrown away...
Interested a fresh, free-range turkey for your Thanksgiving dinner? There are a couple places in the Mid Columbia to find them. Some are growers, and some are retailers. Either way, the turkeys will go fast so you need to contact them ASAP to place your order...
