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 18). 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 am gonna go with Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon. Sounds delicious.

Cranberry Sauce with Champagne and Currants sounds nice and different. Plus it's an excuse to open a bottle of champagne!

I love corn muffins

Pumpkin
Pie
Brulee

I am making the brussel sprouts with bacon this year although I may have to make some with fakeon since I have some veg-heads coming to dinner...

Thanksgiving shepards pie. Combines my love of casseroles with my love of all that is Thanksgiving.

I think the most informative aspect of your whole Thanksgiving Headquarters is the "How to read the label portion of your Bird". It was not only informative but shows that the Turkeys you are giving away are topshelf material.

It's still the Cauliflower and Brussels Sprout Gratin with Pine Nut-Breadcrumb Topping for me. My mouth waters every time I see the name of that dish!

I like the Maple Walnut Cornbread.

I'm hungry fr some stuffing, so the silver palate stuffing it is!

This is a daily entry? Hmmmm....haven't changed my mind yet. I'm still thinking about pumpkin pie cheesecake.

The Cranberry Sauce With Champagne and Currants sounds sooo good.

Pumpkin pie brulee sounds quite good.

Brussel sprouts with bacon for certain

The pioneer woman's sweet potatoes! I love all things pioneerwoman!!! :)

brussel sprouts with bacn

MMM lidia's broccoli rabe with oil and garlic sounds sooo good! I love anything with garlic!

James Beard's roast turkey sounds good...not too complicated either.

Do I have to choose? Right now the broccoli rabe is sounding good, but I'm feeling all healthy and garlic-deprived at the moment.

brussels with bacon

I am still going with the classic menu and I love the sound of the pumpkin cheesecake. I love anything pumpkin and sweet...yummy!

I'm crazy about cranberries, so I'll be trying the Cranberry Sauce With Champagne and Currants AND the Morning After Cranberry Sauce Muffins...what a great idea to use leftover jellied cranberry sauce (which my husband "requires" on Thanksgiving)

pumpkin pie brulee!

brined turkey and brussel sprouts with bacon. maybe i'll stuff the turkey with brussel sprouts and wrap the turkey in bacon. :)

Morning-After Cranberry Sauce Muffins

Rack of Lamb!!!

I've made a couple of the recipes on your lists (corniest corn muffins and all-in-one holiday cake), and I can certify them as seriously yummy, but for some reason, today my tastebuds are jonesing for brussels sprouts--particularly the gratin with cauliflower and pinenut-breadcrumb topping.

Bacon covered cheese ball-- my new nickname for my hubby!

Pumpkin pie brulee. I know, I picked something else (vegetables) a couple of days ago, but today I need this obvious comfort food.

evrything you have listed sounds amazing

corniest corn muffins

Corn Bread-Sausage Stuffing With Apples. My favorite part of the meal is the stuffing...corn bread, sausage and apples sound perfect together!!

I normally just order a honey baked ham (the only part of my Thanksgiving meal that I don't cook from scratch) but this year I was inspired by the ham in coca cola. I think I can do it!

I'd love to try the Pumpkin Pie Brulee.

Happy Thanksgiving to our troops

I'm voting for the cornbread stuffing with bacon, pecans and herbs.
Of course, I'd have to customize it just a bit with the addition of some granny smith apples and maybe some currents plumped with some sherry.

I can't imagine Thanksgiving without stuffing.

But I may try to sneak a few new things in on them. Wish me luck!
