Wishing everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
The next newsletter that you shall receive will be on the 7th of January 2008, until then you can keep updated on all the global poultry news by visiting us at ThePoultrySite.
Something a bit different in this week's newsletter.... a recipe. Turkey is generally the meat of choice this time of year and, in our house at least, we end up eating it for weeks (we have a 14lb bird for 5 of us!)! So we bring you a recipe for what to do with the leftovers!
Worse still... our editor digs out a few jokes!
