That's cheap compared to our Thanksgiving meal.......Tomahawk Ribeye clearly you have more to be thankful for than us $.29 a pound frozen turkey guys! We do T dinner on Wednesday evening with son and his family. No reason to do turkey when everyone else does the next day. Some years it's pork butt others are the ribeyes.

Saw a report where turkey prices are down this year but everything else for the meal is Bidened up.
Good call out on the price per pound on brined having to do with the salt water weight. I prefer turkey to ham. Guess I am a rare bird.

They should be our National bird symbol. They taste a lot better than Iggle. Yeah, because they're so noble looking when winter comes, they congregate in the feed lots, and their scratching through frozen cow-pies looking for the undigested corn kernels. I get that Bald Eagles are big-time scavengers, but, they're not flocked together picking through some other critters dung for a meal. I don't mind store-bought turkey for 1 meal when it's hot and fresh. I don't like the leftovers though, all I taste is the solidified lard they inject in them to make them "self-basting".

I have to shake my head at all the "I don't like..." types. You can't be boomers because we boomers grew up eating what there was available. We didn't get to reject anything that wasn't dainty.
Re: that Costco bird. You can get a whole roasted chicken for the price of one pound of that injected travesty.

$5 a pound for a turkey is a hard no.

Turkey is not the favorite so I’d pass. We like the dark meat on. Turkey as a whole. A good ham beats turkey any day.

A guy down the road smokes turkey or ham for $15 bucks each, probably take one over to try out.

SupFoo: I love Turkey and I love CostCo - but that seems a bit pricey to me. The VarmintWife will be notified and she makes the food decisions around here. I do not recall ever eating "bad Turkey" and I have had lots of frozen ones and lots of fresh ones. One of my Uncles used to slow roast, over his barbecue pit, two Turkeys at once and he basted them constantly with a homemade honey mustard sauce - those were some of the best tasting food I have ever eaten! I will let you know if we partake of these pricey brined birds. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Ninety percent salt. At least the one I had was anyway Yep, too salty. FWIW a turkey producer from Petaluma I knew years ago said buy frozen birds. The fresh birds are pumped full of preservatives.

The stores around here almost always run a free turkey special if you spend $100 in groceries. That’s pretty easy to do these days so I’ll pick a couple up up in the next week or two, brine and smoke them. I’ll be flavorful and moist; not like that sawdust most people serve. There’s a fair number who show up on turkey day just to have some of my fare.
I’ve never had that Costco version but I would guess it’s pretty decent if they’re bringing them in at that price. It’s still less per pound than the packer brisket I buy - choice or prime only for brisket.
Yours in Liberty,

Long before birds were developed that would know themselves out pecking at something shiny, or ‘drown’ looking up at rain, or let their feet freeze to the ground in the cold overnight.
