If a turkey is meant to be fresh for Thanksgiving, then it should not have been slaughtered yet. Something stinks about this story.

I get plenty of wild turkeys in my backyard almost
every morning.

Something stinks about this story. Indeed. Something foul.

I spent a ton of years in the frozen food biz, and would bet that the percentage of toikeys sold “fresh” is really minimal.

If you like your butterballs, you will be able to keep your butterballs. Period.
If you like your turkey, you will be able to keep your turkey. Period.

That was going to be my question: how many turkeys are sold unfrozen? (I don’t like turkey, and don’t know). Aren’t they all bought frozen?

Something screwed up pretty bad to have 50% of the volume slashed for the whole country, and being told today - so close to Thanksgiving - is very sort notice. The shortage is for fresh turkeys only. Most people I know buy frozen. I had no idea that Butterball sold anything fresh until now.

“Looks the old feller is holding a Remington Rolling Block rifle.”
In fact, there actually were shotguns built on rolling block actions.

You’re right, I recall a friend of mine’s dad having an old 16 gauge rolling block back in the 1960s.

Local talk show host “Quinn in the Morning” claims that the turkey stunt actually happened and he worked for the program manager that quoted the “With God as my witness” line.

Buy a fresh (unfrozen) early and often? Does not compute, does not compute.

I have a friend in that business. he tells me the best Turkey you can get is a frozen bird, as they are flash frozen minutes after slaughterer, and are really more fresh than a unfrozen bird,

My mother bought a fresh turkey about 20 years ago. There was a big push to buy "local" (in state), and then it was announced that the labels bled through to stain the skin underneath.
Recall, you say? Nay. People were advised to cut out that section of the skin...
My mother was furious after paying a premium for the local bird, then having to deal that that BS.
To: BooBoo1000
Truethat; they are flash-frozens right after slaughter/cleaning/rinsing etc.
As a Farmer for 22yrs, I’ve found that there’s no comparison between frozen, or even just-cooled meat, and fresh-slaughtered and cooked. That’s being at the top of the food chain.
