In case you are planning a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, hold on for a minute...

" According to research done by Carnegie Mellon University, the carbon footprint of a 16-pound turkey creates a total of 34.2 pounds of CO2 — the same amount produced by turkey gravy, cranberry sauce, roasted Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, rolled biscuits and apple pie combined"

You may consider Veggie Burgers instead.... or how about worms with cranberry sauce?

Good thing I always do a much larger turkey, and often a ham as well,  so I won't have to worry about the effects of a 16 pounder.
