I'm watching the grocery ads for turkey to go on sale, but on Saturday, I
realized I still had two turkeys in the freezer from last year. Took one
out and roasted it for Sunday dinner, then made turkey soup with homemade
noodles for dinner today. Lastly, because this is a preserving group after
all, I took the rest of the turkey and canned it. I ended up with six pints
of turkey chunks, just right for making soup or turkey salad for sandwiches.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I started with a 22-lb. turkey. The cheapest I've
seen it so far this month has been 69 cents a pound. I'm hoping it will
drop to 29 or 39 cents a pound in the next week or so.

They are currently $.40 per lb. with additional $10.00 purchase here.

Incentive to defrost the freezer and make room. <g>

Yep. I had my husband scrape ice from the freezer when he brought up the
turkey. 40 cents a pound is still a good price. I usually get them from
Safeway where you have to purchase $25 in groceries (and that includes the
turkey) and have a club card. In my household, we have three family members
with cards that are not linked together so even if there's a limit of
turkeys per sale period, we get around it by using all the cards.

The turkey had to be a year old and yet it was fine. No freezer burn at
all.

Hmmm ....

Two herds of wild turkeys by the back yard pond last week.
Two of the turkeys are in the freezer. Cost two shells and a game
license.

was 99 cents a pound!

I picked up 2 birds and we ate one...

Grocery ads came out today. Safeway has them for 27 cents a pound with $25
minimum purchase. Limit 1 per household per day. I'll be splitting my
grocery shopping into several days this week.

They take up less room in the freezer (and are more useful) if you
partially thaw them, then cut up like a frying chicken and refreeze in
several packages.

I need to get the crabapples out of the freezer and add them to the
mead I started fermenting last month; that'll make room for a turkey...
