Default The current definition of a "FRESH" turkey

So I just picked up the "FRESH" turkey that I WAS going to brine for
tomorrow's turkey fry. This is the "FRESH" turkey that I ordered a week ago
from our locally owned and operated "Angelo's Fresh Market".

After 20 min. of waiting for the staff to find the "FRESH" 14# turkey, the
"FRESH" turkey lost 1.5#. The next closest was a 20#, too big for my fryer.

Got the "FRESH" turkey home and noticed that "FRESH" turkey now means "with
9.5% natural turkey broth and seasonings", seasoning being SALT and SODIUM
PHOSPHATE.

I wanted a FRESH TURKEY, not a f#ckin $1.69 per lb. chemistry set! I wanted
to brine it with my seasonings, not theirs! And I have a real problem paying
for 9.5% water.

So much for supporting the local guy.

Next time I'm going back to the Amish turkey. for 1.89 per lb. at least they
know what FRESH means.
