Meet “The Limper,” a turkey who lives in the woods behind our former abode in Hartford, CT. Despite a hinky leg, he has survived year after year, avoiding coyotes, bobcats, and whatever other predators lurk in the bushes. Here in California, I miss the old guy and because of him, our Thanksgiving dinner includes lots of vegetarian options.
I hope that you and whomever you celebrate Thanksgiving 2019 with have a delicious and peaceable feast.
