By now you know we are a little different then most of the world, so this shouldn't be a big shocker...we had an alternative turkey option this year. :) By the title, you know where I'm going with this...
Instead of the traditional heading to the store to buy a frozen turkey this year we had the option to slaughter our own turkey. Some friends had been raising turkeys, free range, of course, and we hosted a "slaughtering party" at our house and got to keep 2 of the turkeys for Thanksgiving.
So, we joined together with friends and some family to slaughter 15 turkeys! Here's some pictures. (Just in case you were wondering, the turkeys were delicious!!)
Here's Dusty cutting the head off one of the turkeys...
