It’s certainly Turkey Time, y’all.  At the end, I’ve listed this ad week’s turkey deals. I always get one to make now and one for the freezer. Sometimes I get one extra because I love turkey.  I have an old cookbook called Simple Fare that was the first cookbook I bought for myself that had a section called ‘Dine a Dozen on a Shoestring’ and the basis for the meal was a turkey.  I still agree with the author that a turkey is an excellent way to feed a crowd, despite turning more often to a pork shoulder these days.

Remember, getting those ‘free’ turkeys in reasonable sizes is a trick.  People like me are stocking up and the middle-of-the-road sizes that fit in an ordinary roasting pan.  Stopping by the butcher counter to ask when they restock can give you a fighting chance.

Happy shopping!
