In this episode, our dietitian (who also happens to have experience as a cooking class instructor and as a personal chef) joins forces with Katie Peterson, part of the third-generation of Peterson’s involved in Ferndale Market, a local Minnesota turkey farm who raises and sells free-range turkey. In their conversation, they’ll discuss the history of the family farm, best farming practices they follow, questions to ask your local farmers, why turkey is a great source of protein to add to your diet, and favorite recipes to give you variety and flavor. We hope you walk away from this episode with tips on how to cook the perfect turkey, appreciation for local farmers, and inspiration on new dishes and connections with food.
