ThanksGiving 2016
Here is a value study of this Foster Frams pre brined seasoned turkey …
Our California raised turkey is always fresh & 100% natural*, never frozen, and free of added hormones† and steroids.
We got the following dinners out of this turkey.
| Price of turkey 13 lb turkey | $28.00 |
| 3 days of trukey dinners for 2 people | 6 servings |
| 2 days of trukey sandwitches for 2 people | 4 servings |
| 2 days of Turkey Cream Soup for 2 people | 4 servings |
| 1 day of Turkey Cream Soup for 2 people in freezer bag | 2 servings |
| 1 day of turkey burritos for 2 people | 2 servings |
| total servings | 18 servings |
| Price per serving | $1.56 |
The instructions for this prebrined and seasoned turkey was to put it on a oven rack with water in the pan and tent with renolds wrap and bake at 350 for about 3 ½ hours … which is what i did.
There turkey in all the meals was tender, jucy, and tasty
I could have gotten a regular frozen turkey for under .50 per pound and defrosted and brined and seasoned it myself. Then the price per serving would have been about 40₵. But i am happy with this turkey

I’ll bet it wasn’t organic fed nor free of other chemicals not native to a bird.

Yes my bet too. Foster Farms is a very big organization, i rather doubt that they grew this turkey 100% organically on a free range.
Last year i investigated reserving a real organic free range Turkey form Whisteling Train farm. it is down in Kent by the river. The price would have been somwhere around $40 – 50 and required a commitment months in advance. These real trukeys are not easy to actually catch. I am not saying that it would not have been fun … maybe next year. Subjectively i would have been able to taste the life of the bird as i ate her … but Denise would not. It would also have been much more work.
I broke up the meat yesterday and boiled the carcass for the soup. That was fun … getting as much meat as i could … lots of meat … more than i had expected.
PS. so much that i decided to add a day of turkey burritos.
How was your turkey?

Ok – I’m not a turkey fan. I like the dressing more & all the other trimmings.
