Turkey supply very high this year?

I usually buy a couple at some point during the year when they are on sale. They keep for ages. I know I had one in the freezer for at least 6 months, maybe a year, before using it. No freezer burn - but I'm talking about the ones sealed in heavy gauge plastic. People think of turkey as feastive, so when I cook one and it is NOT Thanksgiving or Christmas, they always ask what the occassion is or what we are celebrating.

You can always slice the breast for sandwiches or dice for salad. Grind up the dark meat and use in any recipe instead of hamburger. No reason to save the turkey for two days out of the year.

My Mom used to make our large turkey last for a Long time.Sandwhiches,turkey salad,turkey soup,etc. She called me yesterday to complain that we haden't taken enough leftovers home. I told her to freeze it! I'll pick it up. My Mom would rather take a poke in the eye than see food go to waste.

Curious; a friend of mine has offered me some wild turkey eggs to hatch this spring; wonder if they're aggressive if raised from babies as "kinda pets"?

What we had for dinner yesterday ,and for breakfast today when we got off work (nite workers)

BooBoo

I roasted my first turkey this year. Did it upside-down for the first 4 hours, then flipped it breast up for the remainder. Juiciest turkey I've ever eaten, and I got the same response from the other 12 people we had over. We had potato cakes (from the left-over mashed potatoes) and turkey & rice soup for dinner today. We were able to make ~6 quarts of broth from the carcass, and that freezes up good for future use.

Like the enchilada idea! We'll try that after BBQ turkey sandwiches, if we still have enough left.

$1.79/lb here... but got it free because my husband's work handed out gift certificates. Organic turkeys started at $40/bird in our area, and that was if you helped with the slaughter. Just couldn't afford that this year.
