“he average Thanksgiving turkey size in 2019 is 30 pounds!”

No way. Nowhere close. I’ve never seen a 30 lb turkey in a grocery store.

At 20 minutes a pound plus twenty, better put that bird in at 2 am if it’s going to lunch.

Sadly, I have. Last year, my Mom insisted on a 29-lb. turkey. We wound up throwing out almost ten pounds, because we didn’t have enough people to consume it and my family got sick of turkey. Our holiday table consists of no more than six people.

I can only make so many different turkey recipes before my family says, “No more, please...!”

There is no shortage of Turkeys in Congress who each weigh a lot more...

When I got our turkey at Kroger last week, they had fresh Butterball birds in one case for $1.69 a pound. There were two birds left the size of pterodactyls. I looked at the tag on it, not checking the size, but it was $53 and change! Now, 53 ÷ 1.69 = 31.36 pounds of farm-raised gobbler. I opted for a 13 pound Honeysuckle White and a two pound, spiral-cut brown sugar ham instead. I'm not running a soup line at the local mission here.

But given the number of locusts about to swarm us later today, you'd think I was.
