Turkey Score

Kroger near me has marked down their Butterball turkeys to 56 cents/pound. I snagged a 24-pounder for just over $13. I cooked it the easy way (cooking bag) yesterday, and I’ve been stripping off the meat this morning. So far, 4.5 lbs in breast meat alone! (Would have been more, but I’ve been sharing with the pups.). I figure at least 3 lbs of dark meat, when finish. I figure my cost will be just under $2 lb for all the cooked meat. There are just two of us, so it’ll go a long way. (btw, any specks you see on the meat are bits of chopped thyme and rosemary.)

Kroger also has smoked and honey hams under $1/pound. Perfect for soups, salads, and instant pot risotto!
