Just curious, what's the turkey prices in your area like? Ours...around .39 lb........I heard on the news that turkey prices are the lowest in EONS this year, so I wonder :?:

who's making the profit this year?? Dang sure ain't the consumers :grr:

Now....another question, how do you plan on cooking yours? This year, I'm SMOKIN' it with Applewood 8-)

Inject it with the *Azsnowmans Secret Ingredients* bake it for 2 hours then smoke it for the last 2 hours.

We're going out to dinner with my Mom. But if were roasting a turkey, I order mine fresh from my local butcher and then roast it. The regular way. I no longer stuff turkey's though. I would make the stuffing and bake it in a casserole dish though.

I have never bought a frozen turkey before and much prefer fresh. While I scrimp and save with many purchases, ordering a fresh turkey from a meat store is just what I've always done. I don't even ask the price b/c I've always thought fresh tastes best.

I have not shopped for a turkey as of yet. But I am planning on frying my turkey this year. YUM!

Linda - would that be deep fried turkey? If so, let me know when the meal is being served and I will be there! :wink:

Sure thing John. And YES it is deep fried. Bought a new deep fryer just for the occasion.

We paid .98/lb for a Butterball 13 pounder. I plan to fry mine too.

Yummy! I have only had deep fried turkey once, but it was delicious! And I am sure yours will be as well.

I think we paid 39 cents a pound. We will do the old fashion preperation and "gobble" it up.

39 cents a pound here also, with a $15 dollar grocery purchase.

We bought a Norbest...I've never liked Butterballs, being a meatcutter for all those years, I talked to a salesman once about BB'S....the stuff they inject them with :roll:

OH Mary......BTW, we're not BUTCHERS, we're MEAT CUTTERS "LOL!" Boy, don't ever call a journeyman meatcutter a butcher, talk about MAD "LOL!" We use to call all of our apprentices butchers, you should have seen some of their cuts of meat :roll:

couldn't tell a t bone from a cube steak "LOL!"
