They look really good just sitting in the bag! Yes, they are "fresh", not frozen.

Nope. I’m pretty good at cooking turkeys. I get free frozen ones every year from my grocery store, and though they’re not Butterballs or other name-brands usually, an oven bag makes them tender and juicy.
Used to get them after the holidays for about $.10 a pound. Joe’s probably screwed that up too.
I love turkey!

Nope. I am not a fan of turkey. Porchetta this year.

Don't buy whole birds anymore. We buy bits and pieces. I've got a big black cast iron pot. I've scalded and plucked exactly ONE whole wild turkey! Never again! We do cornbread dressing, home made whole cranberry sauce and bake a couple of chicken breasts, chop them up and put them in the dressing! It's just me and the Mrs..
BTW! I'm a tightwad! No on a Costco turkey!

Yep, and I'm not a big turkey fan either, but everyone else here likes them for Thanksgiving. Looks good to me.
Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

I would and probably will. We’ve been getting fresh turkeys for several years now, sometimes pre- brined, sometimes we brine. If we couldn’t get fresh turkey we’d go with something else for Thanksgiving rather than a frozen one. Might as well eat cardboard as a “Butterball” or others of that ilk.

No whole turkey is worth $4.79 per pound. My local Kroger will have it for <$0.50 per pound next week.

I'd be concerned about the fact that it was 'Free Range Grown', rather than having been raised...

They should be our National bird symbol. They taste a lot better than Iggle.

Not sure why I wouldn't for a regular meal. But not for Thanksgiving, we do tamales and chilaquiles and carnitas and such for Thanksgiving.
Bet that carcass would make some awesome stock.
