Frying isn't a good option because the oil adds to the cost and is messy and problematic to dispose of. e operation uses grills brought in by volunteers and it can rent others, if needed. "We try not to rent them too much because we don't have that money in the budget," Gunter said. Some dinner items are purchased. Others are donated, like 40 packs of water provided by PWC. Shoppers at the Tastykake/Nature's Own bakery outlet on Natal Street can contribute $1.50 for a package of so rolls for the dinners. Along with rolls and turkey, each dinner will come with mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, green beans, corn, cranberry sauce, yams and pie. Anyone can contribute time or money – or both. Gunter needs hundreds of volunteers and is hoping to have 800 or more. Her first year, she worried she wouldn't have enough volunteers. "at has never been the case," she said. "In Fayetteville, you have a lot of people who don't mind coming out for a few hours to help." Meals are supposed to be delivered before about noon on anksgiving Day and Gunter is hoping to be done with everything by early aernoon. But she won't be going home to a turkey dinner with all the fixings. By then, she said, she and her husband and their two grown children won't want to see – or smell – more turkey, much less taste it. ey'll go out or eat something else in. "Chinese, pizza, Taco Bell," she said with a laugh. "I'm good." For information about Operation Turkey in Fayetteville, check operationturkey.com or @ OperationTurkeyFayetteville on Facebook.
