Do you cook a turkey anytime during January-October?
It struck me funny the other day when I was in our local Kroger that there was an abundance of frozen turkeys available for sale. At least 25 were in the case. Most were either the store brand or their “organic” brand (which costs more than twice as much), plus there were turkey breasts and even a few frozen goose. None were sale-priced. Seems like a bit much for our small town (pop: 4,000) and it's like this all year long. In our house, we've only ever had turkey for Thanksgiving...no one wanted it at any other time and to this day I've only ever known one family that liked having several turkeys every year.
There is a “bargain-bin” for meat at this store and I often get beef, pork and sometimes chicken from it but the only turkey there is ground meat. Leaves me wondering if unsold birds somehow get donated, or do they just end up in the dumpster? That would be a terrible waste but it wouldn't surprise me.
