by Kathy Wolfe ‘Tis the season, as they say, so this week, Tidbits is wondering just how much you know about the turkey, one of our favorite meals over the holidays. • The U.S. Department of Agriculture tells us that about 45 million turkeys will be cooked in America for Thanksgiving, about 17% of all the turkeys sold throughout the year. Close to 250 million turkeys are raised in the U.S. annually. • The Meleagris gallopavo is the wild turkey from which our domesticated turkey is descended. There are six subspecies of wild turkeys, including the Gallopavo silvestris, or forest turkey, the most numerous of all turkeys, more than five million birds. The turkey is the only poultry native to North America. • Because domesticated turkeys have been bred to have large breasts for cooking purposes, they are top-heavy and unable to fly. However, wild turkeys can fly as fast as 55 mph and they even roost in the treetops at night to avoid predators. Wild birds can also run up to a speed of 25 mph. The domestic bird will weigh about twice as much as the wild one. turn the page for more! Dubuque St

TURKEYS

(cont'd):

• During the 1930s, excessive hunting brought the wild turkey population down to about 30,000. A wildlife restoration project was instituted, and today, there are an estimated 7 million wild turkeys across the nation. • Are you familiar with all the turkey terms? That flap of skin that hangs over a turkey’s beak is known as a snood. Brightly-colored fleshy bumps on a turkey’s head and throat are called caruncles. Both the snood and caruncles turn bright red when the bird becomes frightened or agitated. The wattle, that flap of skin under the turkey’s chin, also changes to bright scarlet on a male in the midst of mating season. Although we frequently hear males referred to as toms, they are also known as gobblers, because of the distinctive noise they make to announce their presence to females. A baby turkey is known as a poult or a chick, and of course, the female is called a hen. • Speaking of gobbling, in addition to the familiar gobble, a male turkey can make more than 30 different vocal sounds, including purrs, yelps, and keekees, distinctive and unique enough to be recognized by his fellow males. A gobble can be heard a mile away. Female turkeys aren’t nearly so vocal, usually making a clicking noise. • There are obvious differences in the outward appearances between males and females, with the male having a featherless bright red head and a body of red, bronze, and gold feathers. The female’s head is grayish-blue and her plumage is mostly with a Q: Why can’t you takeaadrab turkeybrown to church? fewA:feathers on the neck and head for Because they use FOWL language! camouflage. The adult male also has a beard, a cluster of feathers on the center of its breast, feathers than can be more than 7 inches long.

You may have heard it said that eating turkey can make you drowsy. It’s true that turkey meat contains an amino acid called tryptophan that the body uses in the production of serotonin. Serotonin in turn helps us sleep. But turkey isn’t alone in the tryptophan department. All meat has about the same amount, and cheddar cheese has even more, as do nuts and shellfish.

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store, but couldn't find one fresh enough for her family. She asked the stock boy, "Don't you have fresh turkeys?" The stock boy answered, "But they are all dead. Now how can I make them take a bath?"

TURKEYS

(cont'd):

• Turkey gender can also be determined in a rather unusual way – by observing their droppings. A male’s droppings are spiral-shaped, while a female produces droppings shaped like the letter J. • Turkeys have excellent hearing, able to determine sounds up to a mile away, but oddly enough, have no external ears. They hear through small holes in the head directly behind the eyes. The birds have periscopic vision, with eyes on the sides of the head, able to achieve a 360-degree field of vision. • The male turkey has sharp bony spikes Q: Why can’t you take a turkey to church? on the back of its lower legs, used as a Because they use FOWL methodA: of defense. You canlanguage! determine a turkey’s age by measuring the length of these spurs. A one-year-old can have spurs of 7/16”, while two-year-olds’ spurs range from ½” to 15/16”. The spurs on a five-year-old turkey are from 1.5” to 2.25” in length. • During mating season, the male turkey fluffs out his feathers, fans out his tail feathers, and drags his wings when he walks. This little performance is called strutting. 1. Which American holiday coincides with

Those eggs will incubate about 28 days before hatching. • Although turkey is regularly served as a Thanksgiving mainstay, it’s unlikely that the Pilgrims dined on the bird at their first Thanksgiving feast in 1621. This three-day celebration was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims, and written accounts of the menu mention “fowl,” which was probably duck or grouse, but turkey was not listed specifically.

Some cooks chop up the giblets to add to the gravy or stuffing, but in all probability, most giblets end up in the dog’s dish! • The meat of an older, larger male turkey is preferred over that of a younger bird, which is usually stringy and tougher. However, when it comes to female turkeys, the meat of a younger bird is better. • Benjamin Franklin favored the turkey as a symbol for America over the chosen bald eagle, saying, “I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; the turkey is in comparison a much more respectable bird…a true original native of America.

CRANBERRIES What would Thanksgiving dinner be without cranberries? Here’s the lowdown on this little fruit, a member of the heather family. • Cranberries grow on creeping shrubs and vines that are about 7 feet long and 2 to 8 inches in height. They flourish in sandy bogs and marshes, requiring at least a ton of vines per acre to plant a bog. • The cranberry is one of three fruits native to North America, along with the Concord grape and the blueberry. Long before the arrival of Europeans to the New World, the Native Americans were using cranberries for food, as a dye for fabrics, rugs, and blankets, and for medicinal purposes. They mixed deer meat with mashed berries to make pemmican, a food that kept for long periods of time. The tribes’ medicine man used cranberries in a poultice to draw out poison from wounds. Some tribes called the little berries “sassamanesh,” while others named them “ibimi,” meaning “bitter berry.” When German and Dutch settlers arrived, they called them “crane berries,” because the plant’s blossoms looked like the head of a sandhill crane. The word “cranberries” is first recorded in 1647 in a letter written by John Eliot, who was a missionary to the Native Americans. Eliot, who was also the translator of the first Bible printed in America, asked in his letter, “Why are strawberries sweet and cranberries sour?” • Just 5% of the cranberry crop is sold as fresh, with the other 95% turned into other products, such as juice and sauce. These little berries are ingredients in more than 1,000 food and beverage products sold. • There are about 1,000 cranberry growers in the United States. The state of Wisconsin is the nation’s No. 1 producer of cranberries, producing nearly 5 million barrels, which amounts to 60% of America’s crop. Other contributors to the supply are Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington. British Columbia is Canada’s leading producer, cultivating 20% of the world’s cranberries. A lot of fruit is produced in a tiny area – if all of North America’s cranberry bogs were put together, they would encompass an area about the size of Massachusetts’ Nantucket Island, just 47 square miles. • Canned cranberry sauce was first marketed commercially in 1912 by the Cape Cod Cranberry Company in Hanson, Massachusetts. The Ocean Spray Company got its start in 1930, when it formed as a grower-owned marketing cooperative. • The health benefits of cranberries are many, including preventing urinary tract infections, respiratory disorders, kidney stones, and heart disorders. Their proanthocyanidin content and anti-carcinogenic components help inhibit the growth of several cancer cells, especially colon and prostate cancer. Its antioxidants may also contribute to a healthy immune system. • People who are allergic to aspirin should be careful of their cranberry consumption, as the berries contain sizable quantities of salicylic acid, also present in aspirin.

Doing the Right Thing I just read a recent story that captured my heart. It involves a 19 year old college basketball player who has inoperable brain cancer. The NCAA gave special permission for two colleges to begin play before the normal season starting date. The results of “doing the right thing” filled an arena, a state, a nation, and a world that is in desperate need of hope and purpose. The cloud of an act of kindness rains and soaks those who are fortunate enough to be under it. This is an example of crosspollinating with corporate America, the beaurocracy of higher educational institutions, the council of medical doctors, and the will and desire of a young, determined athlete. When we come together to do the right thing, barriers become bridges and bridges become a path to walk and live each day as it is meant to be. Doing the right thing gives us a get off the hamster wheel jail free card. This 19 year old girl turned a death sentence into a live lesson. This live lesson is what we need to live each day, as it is our beginning not our end.

● You might be surprised to learn that the Ford Mustang, an icon of American automobiles, was originally named the Torino. ● If you live in Arkansas, you can reflect on the fact that your state is home to the only diamond mine in North America. ● Method, a company that makes eco-friendly home-cleaning products, has at their headquarters a brainstorming room whose walls, floor and ceiling are completely covered in live, growing grass. The purpose? To bring the outdoors in, and to “keep Method weird.” ● Those who study such things say that a $1 million lottery prize is actually worth about $468,000, once taxes and fees are deducted.

Body builders use it to build muscles, families use it to save money and provide a "Healthy Fast Food". It's safe, lactose free, diabetic friendly, and gluten free.

Social Security COLA Increase: 1.7 Percent You’ve likely heard that our Social Security increase for 2015 will be only 1.7 percent. Last year, the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) was 1.5 percent, so it’s a small improvement. But here is how that translates into real money: The average monthly increase will be $20. Here are a few items from the Bureau of Labor Statistics chart: During 2014, food went up 3 percent. (Of that, beef has gone up 17.8 percent since January. Dairy has gone up 10 times in the past 11 months. All meats, poultry, fish and eggs have increased 9.4 percent this year.) Utilities went up 3.5 percent. Medical care commodities went up 2.9 percent. Medical care services went up 1.7 percent. The net loss of those dollars is in our current buying power. The loss will be made worse down the(continued): road because “NATIONAL” WORDS of compounding.
