Thanksgiving Turkey - What brand?

[thomapa1]

I forget what I used last year, but many here recommended it.  Got it at Wal-Mart, was breast only with bone/skin.

<I Brined and injected it, was superb.  We also had a deep fried Turkey - vast majority preferred the smoked Turkey.  Seemed like we got alot more meat off of the breast only Turkey>.

Please recommend a Thanksgiving Turkey Brand

(12 guests, prolly a 6-8lb bird)

thanks

Never can go wrong with a Butterball.

What you do with it is much more important than brand. My wife always chooses a evenly rounded bird with a full, high breast.

, did I say that right? Avoid birds with large dark bruises (damaged) or flat spots (thawed and refrozen)
