Creature Day

Hey hey it’s creature day and as I sit here I have been thinking what other animal is associated with Christmas and the turkey popped into my head.

The reason of course is that many eat turkey on Christmas Day, growing up my Nan always served turkey at Christmas Lunch not that I real like it to me it is often a bit dry.

The turkey is a large bird native to North America. There are two extant turkey species: the wild turkey of eastern and central North America and another type turkey of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.

So since turkeys are not found here down under the turkey we have is of course frozen and what is more popular is the turkey roll. My mum felt there was less wastage with the roll over the bird.

Wild turkeys can fly, sleep in trees and change colour their gender is determined by their poo.

Turkeys can live for up to 10 years but not if they are destined for the table.

I find turkey goes best with gravy, ham, pork and roast veggies like spuds and carrots, sweet potato and pumpkin, just saying you may disagree.
