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

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.

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