Virginia Cooperative Extension presents a Virginia Virtual Farm to Table Program titled "Turkey" on Friday, June 12, 2020. Virginia ranks 6th in the nation in turkey production. Of the top 20 commodities in the state, turkeys rank 5th. Most turkeys in Virginia are grown in the Shenandoah Valley. We will explore a turkey farm in Highland County and learn about raising turkeys from poult to processor. We will then learn how to quickly harvest breast meat from a wild turkey killed during hunting season. Most of the time when we think turkey we think thanksgiving or a deli sandwich. Turkey can provide so much more – it doesn’t have to be a holiday meal. Learn about a recipe that can be an anytime quick easy fix using turkey for everyday cooking. Virginia agriculture is incredibly diverse, and despite our current challenges, farmers all across the commonwealth are busy keeping food on their customers' tables. In this program, we will take a virtual tour of Virginia farms and learn how food is produced on them. Then we will learn how to prepare new recipes with those foods. All sessions will be offered on Fridays at 2:00 pm, are 40 minutes long, and are open to everyone. To register, visit: https://virginiatech.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_2h3EUgLaQTSWYXD8BDsnIg.
