Cannot beat the .39/lb price at HT.....already got the 22 pounder for 10 guests on Thanksgiving...
(unless another grocer matches which I'm not sure....can someone advise on that)
22 lbs for 10 people...your making me nervous, I purchased an 18 lb bird from teeter for 27 people...but I plan to also get a turkey breast to cook in the crock pot to supplement the breast meat...will it be enough??? I was always told 1/2 lb per person, plus some for leftovers...thoughts on this?
Also, I know Trader Joes did have turkeys you could order for deliver next week, but I am almost sure that they have closed all of the ordering for this year.
Jake,
We get ours from Dean and Deluca. They're way expensive, but they're always amazing (maybe because I'm not the one cooking them, though). Heritage Turkeys | Poultry | Dean & DeLuca

I much prefer fresh turkeys, but, this year, the free Butterball gets the nod, as I'm paying off medical bills. I'm not concerned about the sodium, it just means that I'll adjust seasonings.
