one of those is not 54 dollars more bettah its about double the price from the last few years. maybe the turkey jerker needed a raise or caught covid, yes thats a thing and im assuming thats a job thats hard to fill

I always stock up on a few small frozen turkeys this time of year. Our local grocer will normally run them @ $0.99 a pound. The family usually gets a "name brand" bird for the holiday feast. Honestly I like the bargain birds. They only taste bad if I mess it up.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
"Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

We are so poor after Trump lost the election we're just going to have some very diluted turkey broth that we will be dipping our fingers in to eat. Also having to sell about 7 chainsaws and everything we own as I lost my job mere hours after the MSM announced the election. Except I'm keeping my guns, of course. Not going to be happy living in the cardboard box, especially SWMBO. Giving a lot of consideration moving to some place like Hawaii or Alaska where they don't have a liberal president. I'm going to discuss it with everyone on Parler where people are smart and the buffalo don't roam, if ya get my drift.

A farmer/small processor near me is getting $5/lb. He can't keep up with the demand. I could almost understand it if it was a heritage breed but for a broad breasted white? I'll pass, thanks.Glencoe, Minnesota

Picked up free range never frozen "premium turkey" from local butcher. $63 for 18lb. Not sure of breed and realize free range is not all it is cracked up to be, but I like it is not injected with anything, especially salt solution.Ruining Gaskets one cook at a time.

I'm not suggesting anyone here will overcook their Turkey, but it's almost a shame that people will spend big bucks on these boutique turkeys and ruin them by overcooking, then go back to serving up Stouffers frozen lasagna etc the rest of the year.______________________________________________I love lamp..
