I have no clue, I'm not very fond of turkey unless if it's smoked or fried.  So I have tried something else beside turkey on Thanksgiving and it works :)

Thanks for the redirect to Gabe Sanders post. I had no idea, but was more impressed by the entire turkey population, and this was just the bird variety.

Live in a border town with New Brunswick Canada and know if you don't get your turkey before Thanksgiving, you won't. You'll be having ham, lobster, something else for the meat. The turkeys at the three big local groceries head to Canada where the HST is high, the cost of the bird sky rockets. These US turkeys taste better too I have been told by Canadian cousins. So how many consumed? Less if you wait in my area because they cross the International border. We do have wild ones though.

I'm more of a prime rib, bbq, mexican and italian food fan for the holidays.  I'll even hit a little bit of vegetable sushi.  If I have room after the pumpkin pie and deserts I'll go for some turkey.
