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 come back to this post and leave a comment here telling us which of the 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 19). 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.

Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon - yum, yum, yummier!

Being from the South, cornbread is part of my upbringing - baking it in a bacon fat greased iron skillet in the oven was a delight for me as a child.

This recipe brings back those savory flavors and sweet memories.

I have to go with Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon - Fresh veggies and pork fat - can't go wrong in my book.

Sauteed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon!

I'm leaning towards the Pumpkin Pie Brulee, but the Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon might convince me to actually eat some dressing.

Cauliflower and Brussels Sprout Gratin with Pine Nut Bread Crumb Topping

As I've been contemplating doing one this year, I'll say the pumpkin cheesecake.

Flay's chimchurri turkey and guava/cranberry sauce.

I knew I wouldn't be able to fend off the Brussels sprouts with bacon for long.

Every year I make Emeril's Pecan Pie using corn syrup, this year I'm going to try Serious Eat's Sorghum Pecan Pie. Sounds more delicious and nutritious.

The classic menu looks the best but I'd still have to tweak it with family favorites.

For the second entry... I'd have to choose Gourmet's Smoked-Oyster Sticky Rice Stuffing in Lotus Leaf. That sounds so out-of-control delicious and non-traditional that I'll probably be giving it a try in the near future.

A D'artagnan turkey would be fabulous. I get hungry just thinking about the moist, rich meat. After reading through recipes on the site, my family will definitely be enjoying the SAUTEED BRUSSEL SPROUTS WITH BACON as a side dish. Something different and a real compliment to the rest of our meal which, I sincerely hope, includes a real D'artagnan turkey.
Kate in Tenafly

I would like to try the Corniest Corn Muffins

I would love me some Corn Bread-Sausage Stuffing With Apples. Stuffing is always the highlight of the meal, especially if it is roasted inside of the bird!
