Growing up in the world of post war Miami, we were one of the only families that ate wild turkey for Thanksgiving. Courtesy of the Captain, the delicacy would appear each November. I confess, I was slightly ashamed of the bird since no one else I knew had a dad that painted his face and crawled around in the Everglades to provide the Thanksgiving entree.
Although Marjorie has no recipe in CCC for cooking wild turkey, her humorous description of the professor finding bird shot in his chicken ( CCCpag103)comes after her description of a wild duck dinner. For Thanksgiving 09 I am roughly following the wild duck dinner menu. We'll start with sherried grapefruit then giblet gravy, turkey, wild rice, tiny cornmeal muffins, sweet potatoes in oranges and a light salad with citrus dressing. Calamondine pie will be the dessert. I think Marjorie would approve.
