This is primarily because turkey hens don’t start producing eggs until a later age than chickens, and when they do, they lay fewer eggs so are far less productive. The quantity of turkey meat used by foodservice in Canada in 2012 was estimated at roughly 70,000,000 kilograms. In 2012, the average live weight of a turkey in Canada was 9.4 kg.

  • Great Bowls of Gumbo
    Great bowls of gumbo BY TERESA FARNEY [email protected] PHOTOS BY CHRISTIAN MURDOCK, THE GAZETTE Momma Pearl’s Cajun Kitchen owner Robert Brunet adds some oyster liquor to his gumbo last week at his new location in the Northgate area of Colorado Springs. Momma Pearl’s Cajun Kitchen’s gumbo. The Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo Cook-Off is Saturday in Manitou Springs. CHRISTIAN MURDOCK, THE GAZETTE Gumbo at Momma Pearl’s Cajun Kitchen at it’s new location at 162 Tracker Drive in Colorado Springs. There’s nothing like a cook-off to get the creative culinary juices flowing, and this Saturday’s Mumbo Jumbo Gumbo Cook-Off will be no exception. Now in its 27th year, the Manitou Springs competition attracts amateur cooks and professional chefs who bring their best and await judges and the public’s vote to determine the winners. Gumbo is a thick, stew-like dish that requires a properly cooked roux; the “holy trinity” of sautéed celery, onions and bell peppers; and the addition of meat or shellfish. Roux (pronounced ROO) is a simple mixture of equal parts flour and oil that thickens the dish — and is the foundation of gumbo. But these are just the basics. From there, the styles and ingredient decisions diverge wildly. We sought out some chefs with Southern backgrounds to get tips for making the flavorful dish. “Gumbo is our lifeblood, and it is very specific,” said Victor Matthews, dean and culinary instructor at Paragon Culinary School, who spent years as a chef in New Orleans. “For starters, there are differences between Cajun and Creole gumbo.
