Turkey-Talk

[Wally]

Aldis finally has smoked turkeys. Ham but leaner.
Yumm.

Wow. 37 Cents a pound is unheard of! I just bought 4 turkeys and they were 68 cents a pound at the military base and I thought I got a great deal. I like to make a small turkey every so often because I make pot pies, sandwiches, etc with the left overs.

Sorry, I forgot to add that you had to spend at least $25 and the cost of the turkey wasn't included. DH is always scouring the sale papers and stocking up on things we eat or use on a regular basis. They had their storebrand of stuffing on sale for .77 a box and some other things we use so he was able to spend the required $25 and get the turkey for .37 lb. I just went to Wegmans online and found out they also have one brand of turkeys on sale for .37 lb. and you don't have to spend a certain amount to get that price. DH is going by there to get another one to put away in the freezer for later. Lidl and Safeway are both selling their lowest priced turkeys for .98 lb. Prior to the Democrats bringing back inflation, there were always "turkey wars" around our area where the stores would compete to have the lowest price per lb. Unless a Republican majority wins today and win back the WH in 2024, I guess those days will be over.

That's not very difficult these days in the grocery.

I don't know what our TG plans are yet, but I will probably smoke 1 or two turkey breasts. No point in doing a whole bird.

dont recall ever buying a turkey labeled young

The other day a FB friend found one labeled "100% pork"....

Probably from the same market that had the sign up for "Boneless' Bananas

We saw $1.99 a lb Honeysuckle White turkey at Cosentino's Sunfresh, and going to see how much they are at Save-A-Lot.

I think the turkey shortage was related to the avian flu kill off. It would make sense that they "suddenly" reappeared. The turkey farmers had to replant new eggs and wait for them to mature.

I saw an ad online for Save-A-Lot turkeys going for 99 cents a lb. I have got to see this. I just called and they do have them for that price.

The turkeys thank you.

We went in to get our turkey before they are all picked over which is Honeysuckle White.

Price dropped to 29cent a lb at a local grocery. They are huge birds. The smaller birds are always more expensive.

Was shocked to see our local Wegman's market advertising their annual to-go Thanksgiving dinners-- but no turkey this year. Ham only.

Sigh. I don't like turkey.

Not my favorite, so Thanksgiving and Christmas (and leftovers) just about right.

 

[Ghoti Ichthus]

Fresh, local turkey raised on pasture on an (admittedly large) family farm without GMO, additives, injected, etc. is expensive, but worth not having to defrost/thaw. Reserving early and picking up the day before Thanksgiving . . . priceless

 

[Tall Timbers]

Sigh. I don't like turkey.

I like chicken a lot more than turkey, but I love hot turkey sandwiches smothered in gravy. None of my kids nor my wife care for turkey... that's why I usually prepare a prime rib, which they all love.

I know you're anticipating fish for Thanksgiving, but this year might be a good opportunity for turkey. You could get a drumstick and half a breast Or a whole breast and slice it up for both dinner and sandwiches later

I normally get a container (box) of Pacific Organic Turkey Broth just in case there aren't enough drippings to make sufficient gravy. If there are, I can use the broth for something else later

We hosted a Thanksgiving dinner years ago with several of our active duty friends attending. One of the wives brought a huge,
uncooked fish.

My wife had to do some serious cooking timing adjustments to get that foul smelling fish cooked.

Im like TT, and would prefer beef for Thanksgiving, but as to not cause waves, I go along with the family desires.

 

[Bedra1958]

Me too

Me three!
