[Sca-cooks] Marinated turkey

[Susan Fox]

I have not seen a pre-flavored marinated turkey in the US either, but I 
bet it's a great comfort to the infrequent cook faced with making a 
Thanksgiving turkey!  Pre-marinated meats and poultry are showing up 
here, I have not really looked but maybe they're doing whole big turkies 
as well.  I prefer to flavor my own and I suspect that Suey does too.

"Marinated" implies flavor beyond mere "brining" for moisture value, in 
my opinion.  Your mileage may vary.  I don't know if the store will take 
food back, but you could always freeze it for later.

Bon appetit,
Selene
