Win a Free Organic D'Artagnan Turkey Here!

Posted by The Serious Eats Team, November 15, 2008 at 3:00 PM

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.*

D'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 16). 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.

etrnlone at 8:58AM on 11/16/08

it's all about the sauteed brussels sprouts with bacon!

May I second the motion....

Pumpkin Pie Brûlée..........MMMMMMM

jjspat at 9:17AM on 11/16/08

Martha Stewart's Rack of Lamb sounds very yummy!

lilyk at 9:24AM on 11/16/08

The Pumpkin Pie Brûlée will be at my Thanksgiving table this year. That sounds excellent

Quarryrat at 9:26AM on 11/16/08

The Morning After Cranberry Sauce Muffins sounds delicious. garrettsambo@aol.com

garrettsambo at 9:31AM on 11/16/08

I like the healthy menu ideas. especially the Gluten-Free Sausage and Chestnut Stuffing.

gervitsd at 9:31AM on 11/16/08

Pioneer Woman's sweet potatoes are awfully similar to my family's recipe, and I adore them!

jcwest47 at 9:34AM on 11/16/08

Pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnap crust.

ccbweb at 9:36AM on 11/16/08

You immediately caught my eye with "Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon". It takes the good from a decades-long traditional dish and pairs it with some very contemporary add-ins. Who in todays world can resist bacon in just about anything? Pecans call the family home...

czken at 9:36AM on 11/16/08

The stuffing muffins would make a tidy addition to a big buffet. Portion and crumb control rolled into one!

gregsmom at 9:48AM on 11/16/08

Brussel sprouts and bacon, for sure! Yum!

Bumblebutton at 9:49AM on 11/16/08

Brussels Sprout Hash with Caramelized Shallots, from 'Bon Appétit'

pookywookyster at 9:50AM on 11/16/08

The Best Drop Biscuits - but I don't see a turkey with orange juice - which is traditional in my family - moist and tasty.

rachacha at 9:53AM on 11/16/08

Cornbread stuffing muffins with ham and sage mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

franklindelanobluth at 9:57AM on 11/16/08

pioneer woman's sweet potatoes, silver palate's corn bread-sausage stuffing with apples, spiced pumpkin pudding pie....all of these will be made for our thanksgiving dinner!! thanks for the recipies!!

C Chin at 10:03AM on 11/16/08

Maple walnut cornbread would perfectly finish my Thanksgiving menu!

ret2win at 10:04AM on 11/16/08

Sauteed brussels sprouts with bacon

architeuthis at 10:13AM on 11/16/08

Pumpkin Pie Brulee and the Maple-Walnut Cornbread both sound great.

cher48603 at 10:18AM on 11/16/08

so many yummy things they all sound so good, my favorites the pioneer woman sweet potatoes and the maple walnut cornbread.

nsunchaser at 10:20AM on 11/16/08

I lean more toward the classic menu although with some variations. Home made sourdough stuffing instead of cornbread and because there are four vegetarians who join us, I'd have to leave the bacon out of the brussel sprouts and stuffing. Also we'll be adding a toferkey.

trishden at 10:32AM on 11/16/08

I love sweet potatoes and I love dessert, so the Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes looks wonderful. I love how you visually walk me step by step through the recipe.

artmarcia at 10:33AM on 11/16/08

Chipotle meatballs sound delicious

zyang07 at 10:35AM on 11/16/08

Personally, I like the Corniest Corn Muffins

AICORP at 10:39AM on 11/16/08

Ham in Coca-Cola. I always buy a honeybaked ham, but this year, I'm going for this, if only for the "liquid gold" pan juice. Especially since I have Coke w/o HFCS. Where has this been all my citified life?

lyricalsoul at 10:49AM on 11/16/08

The maple walnut cornbread would be the perfect touch on a warm holiday meal!

dsja761 at 10:50AM on 11/16/08

maple walnut cornbread!

magicsquid at 10:53AM on 11/16/08

I'm a classic menu girl all the way. I finally get to spend Thanksgiving with my family this year and they've put me in charge of the turkey and the stuffing. I like the method for James Beards Roasted Turkey and that corn bread stuffing looks terrific!

danipal at 10:54AM on 11/16/08

redron at 11:06AM on 11/16/08

the sauteed brussel sprouts with bacon. I love those baby cabbages and this looks so easy.

Marilouise at 11:07AM on 11/16/08

The Garlic potato's sound great, But so does the Cranberry Sauce with Champagne and Currants. I guess I will go with The Oven roasted Potato Wedges with Bacon Grease.

bongeezer at 11:15AM on 11/16/08

cranberry sauce with champagne and currants

piehole at 11:17AM on 11/16/08

cornbread dressing with bacon and pecans, because everything is better with bacon...

olivethegreat at 11:18AM on 11/16/08

The healthy menu is helpful only b/c I need ideas for some vegetarians who are coming...thanks!

Curlz at 11:23AM on 11/16/08

The Maple-Walnut cornbread sounds wonderful!

I've been looking for new recipes for this year thank you

fluegas5 at 11:25AM on 11/16/08

Pumpkin Pie Brulee, I really want to try it

07violet at 11:29AM on 11/16/08

I think the Morning-After Cranberry Sauce Muffins sound delicious!!

Jadie15 at 11:30AM on 11/16/08

Definitely the Pumpkin Pie Brulee.

We are adding the Contessa's orange wild rice dish to our menu this year. Great ideas, all!

Suzzanne at 12:16PM on 11/16/08

I'm a fan of good biscuits, so I'll have to say "Buttermilk Biscuits with Green Onions, Black Pepper, and Sea Salt".

kmorghan at 12:16PM on 11/16/08

The Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon dounds good.

Trixielou at 12:34PM on 11/16/08

Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes! Now if I could just find a Pioneer Woman who will come over on Thanksgiving and make it!

r0berts at 12:47PM on 11/16/08

definately the cornbread stuffing with pecans and bacon for this transplanted Southern gal...ronnifox@hotmail.com

ronnifox at 12:48PM on 11/16/08

still staring at the silver palate stuffing

miamia at 1:09PM on 11/16/08

My favorite part of Thanksgiving is the dessert, but the same ole pumpkin and pecan pies get old. So I'd love to try Gourmet's Ricotta Tart with Dried-Fruit Compote. Different, but still fall-ish. Thanks for the giveaway!

lillylilly at 1:09PM on 11/16/08

I like the Healthy Thanksgiving Menu.

yadgirl at 1:14PM on 11/16/08

cornbread stuffing with pecans and baconis for my family

llinda29 at 1:17PM on 11/16/08

sln123 at 1:21PM on 11/16/08

I will order one Classic Thanksgiving menu with all the trimmings!

JEP at 1:21PM on 11/16/08

The Ham in Coca Cola is a great idea. I may try that this year.

fangirl at 1:26PM on 11/16/08

I'm torn between the sauteed brussel sprouts with bacon and the Cauliflower and Brussels Sprout Gratin with Pine Nut-Breadcrumb Topping. Once of these items WILL be on our Thanksgiving table this year.

kimblyl at 1:28PM on 11/16/08

I think the Ham in Coca-Cola sounds like a winner!

60ahtram at 1:47PM on 11/16/08

maple walnut cornbread -- yummy!

tiffie555 at 1:50PM on 11/16/08

Pumpkin Cheesecake sound grand, but will there be room in my tummy for it after all the other goodies, maybe for breakfast Friday.

NO_Pam at 1:56PM on 11/16/08

Gotta go with Sautéed Brussels Sprouts With Bacon - I love Brussels sprouts!

maryte at 1:59PM on 11/16/08

Champagne cranberry sauce sounds great

tmim123 at 2:00PM on 11/16/08

cornbread stuffing with pecans sounds super!

crystalcmiller at 2:25PM on 11/16/08

Yesterday I was all for Maple-Walnut Cornbread, and while I still think it sounds incredibly delicious, it seems to be a tie between that and Pumpkin Pie Brulee now.

brooke29 at 2:28PM on 11/16/08

I'm a traditionalist - the cornbread stuffing with pecans and bacon would be my favorite!

susanhales at 2:39PM on 11/16/08

The pioneer woman's sweet taters sounds DELISH! the cornbread looks yummy too.

I am so hungry now. I get to eat a dinner early on sunday thank goodness!

kagey10 at 2:45PM on 11/16/08

Either the Pioneer Woman's Sweet Potatoes or the Corn Bread Dressing with Pecans and Bacon sound good to me

sdeas at 2:46PM on 11/16/08

Pioneer Woman's sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes. Please count me in. Thanks!!

chrissybum at 2:48PM on 11/16/08

Cook's Illustrated's Roasted Brined Turkey looks good to me.

fpccraig at 2:54PM on 11/16/08

MMMMMMM MMMMMMMMM DELICIOUS

routewrecker at 3:05PM on 11/16/08

the chipotle meatballs and maple-walnut cornbread, awesome

jffryclough at 3:06PM on 11/16/08

The Gourmet's Smoked-Oyster Sticky Rice Stuffing in Lotus Leaf looks like a yummy alternative to the traditional cornbread stuffing/dressing.

sutler7 at 3:12PM on 11/16/08

The Maple Walnut Cornbread sounds delicious!

kristelh87 at 3:24PM on 11/16/08

I've already tried the sour cream pumpkin pie from Dorie, and it is indeed amazing, even to some non-pumpkin pie lovers. But, as a cornbread stuffing fanatic, the cornbread stuffing muffins and the cornbread stuffing with pecans and bacon both sound fantastic as well.

dimsumlikeithot at 3:38PM on 11/16/08

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon :)

jmahurin40 at 3:39PM on 11/16/08

I am always partial to the stuffing on Thanksgiving Day, so Gourmet's Smoked-Oyster Sticky Rice Stuffing in Lotus Leaf sounds very different but still very good. Thanks for the giveaway!

elangomatt at 3:48PM on 11/16/08

Chipotle meatballs sound great!

Dorie's sour cream pumpkin pie- I know for a fact it's delicious!

Everything sounds so delicious - I'd love to try the Maple-Walnut Cornbread. Thank you so much!

pumpkin cheesecake w/ gingersnap crust

ydsddd at 7:04PM on 11/16/08

I'm a sucker for pine nuts and a cruciferous lover from way back. So the Cauliflower and Brussels Sprout Gratin with Pine Nut-Breadcrumb Topping is right up my culinary alley.

Gwenelle at 7:11PM on 11/16/08

Japanese sweet potatoes with scallion butter. I would have never put those together.

Marls Barkley at 7:59PM on 11/16/08

I loved looking thru all the menu ideas and gives me much inspiration to make some of them for my Thanksgiving dinner. I think I will try to make Lidia's broccoli rabe, I think it looks yummy. I will also try to make the cranberry salad, I am a cranberry nut . I did a trial run on the spicy pumpkin pie and my family raved about it, so it's a sure thing on my holiday dinner.

pamelakrest at 8:42PM on 11/16/08

Please don't make me pick just one thing.
But if I have to it would be the Maple-Walnut Cornbread.
That is what I will try first then I will move on and try many,
many more on the list!

DMW61 at 9:23PM on 11/16/08

I like the twist to the Apple Cranberry Crisp with Pecan Topping . Easy and Intresting..

Colengal at 9:26PM on 11/16/08
