According to a September outlook report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the wholesale price for frozen whole hen turkeys will average 131.5 cents per pound for 2025"157 and 155 cents, respectively, in the third and fourth quarters. This marks a 40 percent increase over last year's annual price of 93.7 cents.

The rancid orange pedo strikes again.

Last year, Joe Biden was president.

131.5 cents per pound

Did AI write this? No human would say 131 cents instead of $1.31.

Free range turkey vultures are cheaper.

Remember how the righty morons always used to ask "are you better off now than you were a year ago?"

Wonder why they stopped...

I hate turkey.

Absolutely terrible, bland meat that I can only consume when slathered in sauces or gravy to make it edible. Or breaded and fried. Because that fixes pretty much everything.

bland meat

Learn how to cook.

Brine a turkey for 24-48 hours.

Rinse off.

Pat dry.

Let come to room temperature.

Slather with mayonnaise.

Deep fry for about 3 minutes per pound.

It's spectacular and the flavor is outstanding. Every bite.

You can also inject it with herb butter before slathering with mayo. But either way. You have to brine it.

Dry rubs don't work too well because they'll burn in the oil.

censored reminds me of my wife's family. My family is marginally better.

She's more Scandinavian, I'm more broadly north European. Collectively, we know around 2000 ways to cook meat and potatoes.

I am lucky to travel thanks to work, which has provided well utilized time to expand my pallette beyond salt and pepper.

Turkey is easy to make good. The mild flavor offers more opportunity for flavor.

Brining is a must.

The-------------'s economy sucks so bad he might be the only thing keeping McDonald's afloat.

Pretty much everything I guy for the table has gone up a lot in price. Could be one day I will have to make a choice, eliminate chocolate, which is rising rapidly or keep chocolate and eliminate oat meal.
I bet coffee addicts are looking the the price rise of coffee and are wondering how they are going to manage living on coffee but no meat.

Thanksgiving Turkey done right is delicious.

After thanksgiving Turkey sandwiches are even better.

Sliced turkey is so much better for some reason. If I'm eating chunks of bird, chicken is king
