<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Seems to be a lot of interest in this subject--I just placed my order with my local supermarket for a FRESH turkey. (Here in the Beef Capital of the World, I had to order one, but where we lived previously they always had them, I just asked for them from the meat counter.) They cost a little more per pound ( 99 cents this year), but absolutely nothing but turkey the way God made 'em. And I don't have to make room in the fridge for 2-3 days waiting for a frozen one to thaw. Danelle Sorensen Kansas City, KS, USA [log in to unmask]
