Martha Stewart gives turkeys booze before slaughter
Posted: November 12th, 2010 - 7:47am by Doug Powell
Cookbook author and domestic mogul Martha Stewart told Stephen Cobert (see below) she gave live turkeys miniature bottles of alcohol before killing them with her bare hands.
"I give them, you know those little cognac and bourbon bottles that you get on airplanes? Well before the bird is slaughtered you [give them] that. You just pour it down."
Stewart plans to kill six turkeys for her own Thanksgiving dinner this month.
