Did anyone try a different brand of turkey this year? If so, what did you think?
I went with a Plainville for the first time and loved it.
I'm interested in cooking another Plainville and trying a Bell and Evans or Empire Kosher for Christmas since I'm cooking two then.

Yep. Went with an el cheapo Publix 8% enhanced bird for .59lb, and salted. Last year's fresh, all natural bird that I salted well ahead of time had a much better flavor, so I guess you get what you pay for.
