Last November one of our local stores had nice Butterball turkeys on sale for $7.99. I bought 8! They were only about 12-15 pounds so they weren’t big enough for holiday meals with this crowd and guests, but they are just right when it is just us. We have had 2 a month throught the winter. Along with our local stores special of 20# of potatoes for $3.99 and my girls making homemade bread, the only other thing I need to be sure I have is some fresh or frozen veggies. So twice a month we have a big turkey dinner with all of the fixins, well all the one’s that are popular around here anyway. When money is really tight, or the weather has been nasty for days on end, or you just have the winter “blahs” there is nothing like a nice turkey dinner. It is a family thing. It is a comfort thing. And after the big meal we can usually get another 2-3 meals out of that bargain bird! Creamed turkey over biscuits, turkey soup, turkey broth with lentils and rice. And so on and so on.
