NOT expensive because I stocked up on Publix turkeys at 49 cents per pound. Total cost of both turkeys were under $14. Stuffing mix at Aldi's only 75 cents per box. And liquor and a lot of other stuff I got on the cheap cheap via bargain hunting and coupons.
I was just pulling your chain. It was the first thing that hit me when I read your title. :)
$0.49/lb is the deal. I thought I was doing good when I found $0.59/lb birds a Wegmans. I bought four turkey necks and some hearts for stock. That cost almost as much as the bird. The stock finished at 12:09 last night. After skimming the stock this morning after being in the frig overnight there’s exactly a quart of stock. It is deep, dark, and rich. The gravy/sauce will be completed tomorrow with a brown roux, port, cognac and black cherries. The only work I have in the kitchen tomorrow is putting the bird and stuffing in oven and finishing the sauce. Everything else is ready to go with family/friends having the side dishes covered.
