TABLE OF CONTENTS:
Let’s Talk Turkey (1960s) – 22 minutes running time
– In the 1960s, more and more grocery stores started to carry whole turkey, so the American consumer was no longer restricted to the butcher shop. (Which also means they no longer had to chop off the head and feet too!) This film shows how to properly dress and roast a turkey, along with various other recipes and culinary techniques.
A Day of Thanksgiving (1951) – 13 minutes running time
– A middle-lower class American family can’t afford a turkey for Thanksgiving, but they discover that wealth would not lead them to any greater happiness and they should all be very thankful (after all, it is Thanksgiving Day) for all the great things they DO have in their life. This movie actually won some film awards in the early 1950s.
Poultry on the Farm (1937) – 11 minutes running time
– Turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks and all types of other poultry are discussed at length. This film includes great footage of incubation machinery and embryo hatchings.
Carving Magic (1960s) – 21 minutes running time
– Wow – this film shows how to properly cut almost any type of meat using the correct knives and utensils. Turkey, steaks, chicken, lamb, etc. This is an excellent film with tons of useful information and brilliant color photography.

The Effect of Industrialization on Turkey Farming: Let’s Talk Turkey DVD (1960)

- Run Time: 22:00

A captivating snapshot of the changing history of food production and availability, Let’s Talk Turkey is a top notch vintage food industry film. While once considered just a meal for holidays or special occasions (prior to 1960), with the advent of modern farming and production methods, turkey can now be an every day food. Gone are the hours of tedious labor incurred by going to the butcher and dressing the turkey yourself, so the film promises. Now, a fresh frozen turkey can be bought in your grocer’s frozen food section, ready for preparation. This incredible advance in food preparation made life easier for homemakers, and it’s easy to forget that the universally and consistently available food supply has not always been a part of American life.
