At Thanksgiving whole frozen turkey is very inexpensive, perhaps
39¢/lb, sometimes free with a $50 purchase. I'd not waste my time
roasting and take the risk with a three year old frozen turkey... for
me it'd be a no brainer... I'd very likely toss it out under a spruce
tree for the critters. Actually if I had a frozen turkey in my
freezer past New Years it'd be critter chow... why waste the freezer
space and have to juggle a turkey for years that likely cost $7? If
not cooked and eaten within three years of purchase it'll never be
cooked/eaten. Shoulda been donated to a local soup kitchen three
years ago for their Thanksgiving dinner... anyone with a three year
old turkey in their freezer should be very embarrassed to announce it.
I buy a turkey once a year for Thanksgiving, only because it's
traditional... turkey is not a favorite food here so I buy the
smallest one I can find... lucky to find a 12 pounder. These days
it's only the two of us and the cats, the cats may eat more than us.
There are no left overs. I eat the drum sticks and my wife eats one
breast. Years ago I'd make turkey soup but we really don't care for
it so whatever is remaining goes out under a spruce tree for a possum
party.
