Most supermarkets sell “Better than Bullion” in a jar in the soup section. It’s a thick salty natural broth base – available in turkey, veg., beef and chicken. I love this product, and use them all in so...

I am cooking my first turkey ever, and am confused about how big a bird to get. There will be five of us. I’ve looked at various turkey websites, and they suggest 1 lb. per person, which would give us a 5 lb. bird. Most of...

You can get frozen Empire kosher bone-in turkey breasts in supermarkets.

My local supermarket has started labeling its turkeys as hens and toms. Before I choose one over the other, tell me, which do you prefer and why?

Where are you that the kosher turkey didn’t cost any more than a non-kosher one? Is this a supermarket butcher? Is this a fresh turkey or a frozen one? If fresh, I’ve never seen a non-kosher butcher who sells kosher...

the big supermarkets could have the 5G tins of oil. Ive seen gallons certainly. They do have the big tins at costco but not peanut. - you might mix the standard veg oil with a cpl of gallons of the chinese peanut oil for flavor....

I was tempted by, but didn’t purchase, a heritage turkey this year. Did anyone try one? Is the flavor, texture, cooking technique different? I know it’s going to be more than a frozen Butterball or other supermarket...
