Consider The Turkey

In Consider the Turkey (Princeton University Press), Singer reveals the hidden story behind the popular commercially bred turkeys that dominate American holiday meals. Singer gives a brief history of turkey consumption, critiques the annual American presidential turkey pardon, and introduces readers to a charismatic turkey named Cornelius. Above all, he provides an alternative, a world where we can create holiday tables that are better for the planet, its people, and the turkeys themselves by moving beyond this beloved centerpiece. Featuring recipes for holiday feasts sans turkey, this book invites readers to rethink their holiday meals — or even tomorrow’s dinner.
