Turkeys are made in labs and not wild. Just artificially inseminate more.

In NJ there's plenty of wild turkey.
Of course they'll be tougher...
To: nickcarraway
So buy early and don’t wait for a sale.

Most years you could get a turkey virtually for free as a loss leader to get you into particular stores to buy all the fixins at inflated prices.
So now for the first time in memory they are going to make us pay for the turkey?
Outrageous!

Bird flu has made the three-egg omelette a luxury item in parts of AmericaI don't know where this guy shops, but my eggs are still pretty cheap. One of the best protein values in the grocery store.

Wild turkeys are so different in almost every way that they’re not really the same bird at all.
When I worked as a chef, my boss shot a few and brought them in for us to prepare.
Good lord, those were some of the stinkiest animals I ever had the displeasure to turn into food, though they did eventually make for a pretty good ravioli with plenty of fresh sage and brown butter sauce.

Luckily for them (& me) I'd prefer almost anything else.
Though I get tempted when they eat all the grapes out back.

Third Thursday? I think not.

3rd Thursday?....that should read 4th Thursday in November...
To: novemberslady
The ones eating grapes probably taste a lot better than the ones eating creosote or whatever it was that these bastards ate.
To: nickcarraway
I’ve got more than I know what to do with in my back fields. They taste alright, and they eat ticks.

The latest report from the USDA stated ending April whole turkey stocks at 200 million pounds, which was a bit above both year-ago and 10-year average levels. Stocks tend to peak around 309 million in late August. I’m not looking for a big shortage. Also, ham stocks are large and hog and pork production look like they’re going to average at least 10% over year-ago levels during the second half. It looks there are going to be lots and lots of cheap wholesale hams around by year-end. The trick is to get the &*()*#$ grocery stores to actually pass the lower cost on to consumers.
