Looking for your perfect turkey for Thanksgiving dinner in the Hudson Valley? This year, skip the grocery store and opt for a local one instead. They’re all pasture-raised, hormone-free, and taste better than store-bought. But don’t just wing it—order in advance because farm turkeys sell out fast.
Once you have your turkey in hand (or in the freezer, at least until it’s time to thaw), your next step will be to figure out just how you want to prepare it. A classic roast is great, and cleanup is easy if you throw the whole thing in a Dutch oven. Taking the deep-fried route is more of a challenge, but the results will undoubtedly be worth it if you do it right (and safely).
And if you find yourself face to face with the age-old question of what to do with all those turkey leftovers, never fear! From empanadas to sandwiches and even breakfast bowls, there are so many ways to transform your turkey meat into meals that go far beyond classic Thanksgiving flavors.
