Cisco founder peddles $335 Thanksgiving turkey,

For $335, it should come with Rachel Ray,Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Jamie Oliver, Emeril Lagasse, Gordon Ramsay, Wolfgang Puck, Paula Deen, Giada de Laurentiis, Paul Prudhomme and Guy Fieri to cook it.

Of course, it’s not just any gobbler, but a “heritage” bird — meaning a breed that goes back before the age of mass-market turkeys on commercial farms. And on top of that, it’s organic and raised to the exacting Certified Humane standards, which guarantees that animals have “shelter, resting areas, sufficient space and the ability to engage in natural behaviors,” according to the certification organization. Ayrshire says the result is a better bird taste-wise: “It is simply a different product than a typical grocery store turkey,” says the farm on its Web site.

But most cooks will ruin turkey by overcooking it. (We are having game hens and ham for Thanksgiving, Wife and I don't like turkey.)

I love game hens and havent had them in a while. I have a crowd this Thanksgiving. Perhaps when there are less here? I wouldnt mind six or eight adults enjoying game hens with chestnut fruit dressing.
