I calculate your turkey at almost 9 pounds weight. In this area at
Thanksgiving, turkeys were averaging about 79 cents a pound (lots of
competitive pricing) - so that would be about $7.00 US, give or take.
Raising turkeys is big business here, for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas.
We settled on the ribeye roast (on sale for $5.99 a pound, which was a
steal); I had thought to get a duck but changed my mind; goose was for
sale, which I seldom see otherwise - didn't price either bird.
