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 23). 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.

They all sound wonderful but the one I am really going to make is Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes. Familar yet, with no annoying mini-marshmallows. I think the family will love it.

Oh, yes...the menu...The Classic looks the yummiest to me!

Everyday Food's Pecan Cornbread Dressing, definitely!

cranberries with champagne and currants

So, what, exactly, do you mean by "menu suggestion"? If it's a choice among Classic, Healthy, and Easy, then I pick Easy, but if you want us to choose from all the recipes, I'm going for the Cauliflower and Brussels Sprout Gratin with Pine Nut-Bread Crumb Topping. I'm so confuuuuused!

I bet a nice, organic turkey would help unconfuse me, though.

Cranberry Grappa Jelly...now that sound's like an intriguing alternative to cranberry sauce!

corniest corn muffins for sure

I want the brussel sprouts w. bacon. Everything is better with bacon!

Chipotle meatballs look amazing...

Definitely the cornbread stuffing with pecans and bacon - or the maple-walnut cornbread - so long as there's cornbread, I'm happy!

pumpkin pie brulee.... mmmmm....

pumpkin creme brulee :)

Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes!

Honey-brined and smoked turkey sounds AWESOME.

Oh, James Beard's Roast Turkey is the classic, what so many of us are used to, but now I know to to add the brining step. Between a roasting turkey and brussel sprouts with bacon, does anything smell better? Maybe I'll add a pot of coffee to the kitchen deliciousness.

mmm the maple walnut cornbread this time!

I'm very pregnant, so I could not only eat them all, but eat the laptop showing the recipes, and very probably my desk as well.

Having said that: scalloped yukon gold and sweet potato gratin with fresh herbs, definitely.

Now I'm hungry again. damn.

Still the Cranberry Sauce With Champagne and Currants,

When my daughter would come home from college I would ask her whatshe wanted to eat and it was always my mashed potatoes - without all the fake flavorings in instant potatoes. I'm glad someone appreciates them as much as I do! Thanks so much for a great giveaway! HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE !!!

The Gourmet's Chipotle Meatballs sound yummy

The Smoked-Oyster Sticky Rice Stuffing in Lotus Leaf recipe almost made me cry it sounded SO good. I live in Costa Rica and have no idea where to find any of this stuff (except the smoked oysters). It made me realize how much I miss having access to all different types of foods! I am going to try a Costa Rican versions though - wonder if banana leaves will work instead of lotus ones? That said, if I win the turkey, since you can't ship it here, I will have it sent to my son in California for HIS Thanksgiving since I can't be with him. He would probably rather have a turkey than his mom anyway. Sigh.

The Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes! I really like her recipes.

Cornbread stuffing with pecans and bacon makes me starting salivating like Pavlov's dog. Shameful I know but thats one of the things about the holidays...I try to make it a guilt-free period of the year. After all, we have 10 other months to feel guilty and whip ourselves into shape. :)
