"small turkeys" news and stories

The price of turkeys will be up this year, even though more will be available than in the past few years. Excuse me, but when have stores run out of turkeys for Thanksgiving? Well, I guess they want to be prepared just in case every family in America wants an extra bird or three. Basically the wholesale price of turkey has increased this year by about 17% and of course the retailers are passing it on to the customers. You will see better prices in frozen birds, but the fresh ones will have the highest prices. I for one always get a fresh bird and you couldn't pay me to buy one of those frozen, brine and artificial flavored bowling balls that masquerade as turkey. One more thing about turkeys this year. Due to the warm summer, many of the birds didn't gain as much weight as normal ,so you will see more of the smaller birds this year. That's something I like because it's easier to cook two smaller birds than one huge sucker, especially since I like to roast one and deep fry the other.
