$71 Turkey at Publix
 

It was big...probably 20 pounds or more and it was fresh, not frozen, but I nearly fainted.

THAT is a LOT of money for a hunk of poultry.

Just saw it today at Publix.

They are going to have to have a financing kiosk in the meat department. (Not picking on Publix, MEAT AND POULTRY is getting very expensive everywhere.)

Kind of early to be buying Thanksgiving turkey??

Where are the major areas in the US producing turkeys? I hope not Texas? http://www.ncsl.org/aboutus/ncslserv...ving-quiz.aspx

It was sited, not purchased. I didn't buy it, I NOTED IT.

And yet it's still cheaper per pound than that Boar's Head lunch meat that people line up to by. I can buy very good steaks for less than what people spend on lunchmeat for sandwiches.

That is true, but I always think of Turkey as sort of economical.

If one of you well to do Villagers has any Christmas spirit I'd be glad to be Bob Cratchit while you play Scrooge and drop that big bird off at my house.

I was just at Publix and saw the turkeys. They are all natural, fresh and Kosher. They are $5.19 a pound.

How long do they keep frozen?

People buy them fresh to cook them fresh. They would not freeze the turkey.

I will bet it tastes a lot better when it has not been frozen.

Fresh turkey tastes much better than frozen.

Think of all the dishes you could make. Turkey a la king, tetrazini, pot pie, Turkey casserole, soup.

The turkeys weigh 14 pounds. Not a whole leftover unless you cook it for less than 6 people.

I'm surprised people haven't gobbled this deal up and are stuffing their refrigerators.

Went to Publix to get one. 14 lbs. didn't look big enough so....I asked the stock boy "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied "No they're dead." :mmmm:
