Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey Here!

Do you know where you're getting your turkey this year? Not yet? Then we've got a contest for you. The good folks at D'Artagnan are providing us with a turkey a day to give away to one lucky Serious Eats reader from today until Sunday, November 23.*

20081114-dartagnan.jpgD'Artagnan is a purveyor of many things delicious—from pâtés to sausages, foie gras to wild mushrooms, game meat to truffles. But what we're especially interested in right now is their turkey.

D'Artagnan's certified organic birds are fed organic grains and pure spring water—no protein supplements, added poultry or fish byproducts, pesticides, or herbicides. Additionally no antibiotics, no growth hormones. The result is a poultry with great flavor, tenderness, and a 25 percent lower fat content than standard commercially raised turkey.

We will be giving away 12- to 14-pound organic free-range birds for the duration of the contest. Contest is open only to participants in the continental U.S. Details after the jump.

Win a Turkey

To enter to win, just go to Serious Eats Thanksgiving headquarters, peruse all the cool ideas, and then leave a comment on this post telling us which of our Turkey Day menu suggestions sounds the yummiest.

One (1) winner will be chosen at random among the commenters. Feel free to enter every day, but you may win only once during the lifetime of the contest. Comments for this entry will be open until 3 p.m. ET tomorrow (November 17). The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

* Sorry, but we have to limit shipping to the continental U.S. Birds will be shipped from D'Artagnan no later than Monday, November 24.

I just ate dinner--but I'm hungry all over again after reading the great menu ideas. I am going to make the pumpkin cheese cake-it will be a nice change from the traditional pumkin pie I usually serve. Excuse me now, I have to go find something to eat. LOL

James beard's roast turkey! I use the lemon but never thought to rub. Just sort of threw it in there.

I am totally a Pumpkin Cheesecake lover. I used to buy the Cheesecake Factory's, but last year I attempted to make my own. It was good, but not sensational.

As for choosing one of the menus, I would prefer the classic. I still love Turkey with mashed potatoes, stuffing, homemade potato rolls, and gravy smothering all of it. And I love my father-in-law's yams. YUMMY!

I think I may try the Maple-Walnut Cornbread.

So many people picked the pumpkin cheesecake so, even though I don't really like pumpkin or cheesecake, since my sisters do I think its a must for dessert!

James Beard's Roast Turkey. He and I have the Portland connection!

Definitely pumpkin cheesecake.

I am sticking with the Pumpkin Pie Brulee.

Classic Thanksgiving Menu

Corn Bread-Sausage Stuffing With Apples.....and Cauliflower and Brussels Sprout Gratin with Pine Nut-Breadcrumb Topping - both of those sound fantastic. :)

Consider me passed out on the floor drooling in my sugar induced coma.

all-in-one holiday cake! I am making it a part of my holiday this year!

I'll definitely go with the classic menu. Over the years I tried so many recipes and they ranged from ok to very good, but there's nothing like a traditional meal for Thanksgiving.

Martha Stewart's Rack of Lamb, cause you can't hate on Martha.

Cornbread dressing with pecans and bacon. Duh! The one with the bacon in it :)

I love me some cornbread dressing with bacon.

Coca-Cola with ham? Who would have thunk it? That's what I'm having!!

Cook's Illustrated's Roasted Brined Turkey

Martha's Rack of Lamb.

Brussels sprouts and bacon! Yumyumyumyum. My two favorite things.

The maple walnut cornbread looks great. I always like to use the "expected" ingredients in a new way for Thanksgiving.

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts With Bacon. I'm a big fan of Brussels Sprouts and hope my son will love them too, adding bacon seems to be a winning combo!

pumpkin pie brulee...yum!

I have to try the Cranberry Sauce With Champagne and Currants. For me, Thanksgiving is all about the cranberry. I usually eat a little turkey with my cranberry sauce.

Yukon gold and sweet potato gratin

Your cranberry & currant sauce w/champagne sounds ridiculous off the hook, and this year is the year I pledged to make the stuff from scratch (despite protestations from my sister "I LIKE the canned stuff!" and "No one really eats it anyway"). Plus this is the first year I'm making the turkey for my family :)

Chipotle meatballs-- maybe a good Thanksgiving evening snack?

I love the Brussels Sprouts with Bacon!

It's gotta be that pumpkin cheesecake with the marshmallow crust, although the cranberry/champagne sauce is a close second.

Corn Bread-Sausage Stuffing With Apples -- cornbread + sausage FTW

Cornbread dressing with pecans and bacon...mmm.mmm.mmm

All of the dressings sound good, but it's my favorite part of the meal anyway, so I'm biased.

brussels sprouts with bacon

the chipotle meatballs look interesting.

Pumpkin Pie Brulee

Chipotle meatballs mon amour.

Cornbread stuffing with pecans and bacon.

another for the pumpkin pie brulee!

The Silver Palate Cornbread Sausage stuffing with applies - gotta try this!

The corniest corn muffins look really good about now - I just hope I can find some really good corn!

Seeing as how you said menu I'm going with the Easy Menu... It's not that I'm lazy but with a newborn, 4 yr, and hubby tons of time in the kitchen just doesn't work.... If we had family near us I might do more but with just us the easy menu is the best bet...

Cranberries and Champagne, oui baby!

Everything sounds so good,the corn muffins ,sweet and yukon potatoes together ,great ideas for me because I love trying different foods. My favorite is the Pumpkin Cheesecake with Marshmallow-Sour Cream Topping and Gingersnap Crust ,thats a winner.

The Easy Menu looks the best to me - especially the Apple Cranberry Crisp w/ Pecan Topping...yum.

I liked Ed's summary on how to read a turkey label. It's maddening to try to sort through all the different claims.
