/ck/ - Food & Cooking

No has any speculation on turkey futures?

Plenty of industrial use for a turkey.
Canned turkey, preserved turkey, frozen turkey etc...
So if there's expected to be an insane amount of leftover turkey early in the supply line it means it just goes to a different place. Expect to see more new microwave dinners featuring turkey than before.
If the oversupply and low demand happens at the supermarket level then you will probably see cheap turkey on sale, but I wouldn't count on it necessarily. That is to say don't plan your food budget/needs around potentially buying a truckload of turkey. In some cases it may be shipped back to factories for the above mentioned microwave dinners.

I remember about 10 years ago there was a big turkey surplus and stores were selling them for as low as 10 cents a pound after thanksgiving.
/ck/ had a few threads about it and the best solution I saw was braising an entire turkey in stock pot and then deboning it into light and dark meat
This was all packed in single servings and frozen and the bones returned to the pot to make bone broth.
I did mine with shallots and it made amazing sandwiches

thanksgiving has been canceled by the godless left like fox news says

Tucker is fucking fuming mad aboot it too

You killed a McChicken thread for this asshattery? Die a slow, painful death.

What about free turkeys?

>Not seeing you family and cooking a meal because "TV Says"

That being said, hell yeah I bet there are going to be cheap turkeys and other birds next weekend. I think I might get a turkey and a couple ducks and fill my freezer.

>>15104809
Ah a fellow anti masker.

Go back to the containment board of your choice please

>>15104165
I bet you could get quite a few meals out of a single turkey. Make soup from the carcass, use up the wings and a breast in that. Use the other breast as it's own roast another night, or turn into sandwiches. Legs could be braised. Thighs would probably make a killer coronation turkey salad.

>>15104815
Yeah, just don't have it in me to comply. I tried playing along for a few weeks, now I just don't bother. Tempted to start open carrying just so I don't get bitched at.

That is not so clear to many people. Jokes are tough

>>15103952
>Does that mean that turkeys are going to be on sale like crazy after thursday?
Turkey has already been heavily on sale for me.

I don't think it can get much cheaper.

I've bought over 125lbs at this price.

>>15105132
>I don't think it can get much cheaper.
This is only the beginning
I feel bad for them that already stocked up

>>15103952
>Does that mean that turkeys are going to be on sale like crazy after thursday?
This was the case at my Kroger last year even without covid. They were selling the fresh ones (never frozen) for five bucks each.

>>15105132
I remember your thread on this, you like turkey year round and you get them all right now, right?

>>15105311
Yup, they keep in the freezer very well, I'll be eating turkey until next fall. A roast every ~2 months or so.

I've got 5 at 21lbs, 1 at 23lbs. The 23lbs one is for thanksgiving.

I'll probably buy another 1 or 2 in the 20lbs area after thanksgiving. leaving me with ~125-150lbs in 6-7 birds.

Christmas dinner is a tenderloin roast but I might breakout a ham or turkey as an option as well.

>>15105461
I feel like you might be thawing out these turkey corpses and having sex with them

>>15105497
Nah, i do put them inside me though.

Leftists actually think this is an insult

>>15105859
>lift it up out of the juices
For what purpose?

>>15103952
Turkeys are ALWAYS on sale like crazy after Thanksgiving. Nobody buys turkeys to cook at home except for thanksgiving.

Theyre the best deli meat but are not that great prepared in a way your average home cook can make them. Injected and deep fried is good but is heavily discouraged now from all the dumbasses burning their houses down over the years.

>>15105515
that's a nice looking bird
this thread has inspired me, i'll be on the hunt for a cheap turkey post-Thursday and i'll experiment with it, probably main meal, leftover meals, sandwiches, and a big thing of soup to freeze

>>15105963

Expect current turkey sales to continue to reduce store inventory beyond Thursday, but don't expect stupid cheap 4c/lb pricing.
If it's in the warehouse, frozen, they'll hang onto it or move it to another channel, as the cold chain is intact.
Wouldn't be surprised if food banks and charity meal services have plenty of turkey next month.

What can a neet do with it:
Get a Nesco. "Nesco" here always means the 18 quart turkey roasting size. It is not a one-trick pony; you will also use it for ham, pulled pork, chicken, and other meats.
Follow the damn instructions, which are basically oil/season/high heat/moderate heat/rest.

Then you eat the drumsticks, slice up the breasts for lovely sandwiches, and make soup out of the rest (heavy on onion and celery, put separately cooked wide egg noodles in the bowl just before ladling in soup).

Hopefully you have made a friend to unload some of the extra on, and were smart enough not to go bigger than about 14-16lb (unless there was a price advantage to do so).

I went to the store today and maybe it was just my store but they're almost out of cheap turkeys. They just have a bunch of those $4/lb ones that are GMO-free or whatever makes them so expensive. But of the normal turkeys, I got literally the last of the 15-pounders. They still had like half-a-dozen 20+ pound turkeys, but nothing smaller. Unless they have more in a freezer in the back or are going to be getting a new shipment.

also a lot of bags of turkey breasts cuz apparently some people get those I guess

Wouldn't they be selling more turkeys since individual households will be doing solo Thanksgivings instead of a big group? Instead of one turkey for 10-15 people, it's 4-5 turkeys for all the different family household groups.

>>15107463
this can be true too. I normally went to a friend's place and they cooked the turkey, so this is the first year that I ever bought a turkey. I expect the smaller turkeys especially to sell out, while the giant ones might be more available and some people might just give up on Thanksgiving altogether.

>>15107463
fuck, i never thought of that

>>15105132
>$125lbs of turkey for less than $50
How are they even making money off that? Surely it costs more than that just to process and ship the turkeys.

>>15107662
cocaines a hell of a drug

>>15107691
>>15107662
Stores will often sell turkeys at a loss and then make the money off of all the other stuff you buy with the turkey

>>15103952
In Canada stores got a shit load in stock expecting every household to have their own smaller dinner. Families still got together anyway so stores were stuck with freezers full of turkey and ham. Walmart was selling them dirt cheap for a while.

>>15103952
Nigga just do what I’ll do with family, early thanksgiving

You retards really believe these guys have genuine emotions? He will leave the studio after his few hot takes, his paycheck will be rolling in, and he will have been successful in conning the All American Idiot once more. People like that have no genuine feelings towards anything.

That'll get you arrested. Source: saw a man try to walk in maskless to a liquor store with a cop already in there for an unrelated reason. Guy got told to leave, and he said he has a "condition" while pointing to the gun in his holster. Cop was on him like ugly on an ape.

>>15109801
You cannot open carry in a liquor store on most states

>>15109745
Where do you think we are?

>>15103952
turkeys are cheapest before thanksgiving, you just have to buy frozen whole birds for $.25/lb. The remaining fresh birds will be marked on sale the day after thanksgiving and will sell out and not be restocked. The remaining frozen birds will go back into deep freeze to be brought out next year. Unless you care about fresh birds, frozen bird will always be cheaper, even when the fresh bird is marked 50% off on friday.

>>15110472
I think the implied threat with a firearm was what got the cops attention

>>15109268
Yes, but unless you're in his tax bracket, that contempt you see in him is just as much at you.

I mean, sure if you have followed him for years and know his shtick, but he certainly plays a character that tries to represent the "average" American white man.

Quit avatar-fagging

>>15111818
You would never think he pretends to be blue collar if you watched his show.
The fact is you could never watch his show because it would make you far to angry.
So what you do instead , is let some influencer create a highly edited montage decide for you what you should think of him.
You have been assigned your beliefs just as much as the people who watch fox news.

>>15103952
Debone it before you cook it and use the raw meat for recipes like turkey tacos, chimichangas, or cut the meat into portions and cook it on grill.

>>15111872
lmao i've watched him, even recently. He 100% plays up that angle and you're delusional if you think otherwise.

>>15103952
>Does that mean that turkeys are going to be on sale like crazy after thursday?
The turkey sales tend to be 1-2 weeks before the holiday, actually. Stock your freezer up at that time. They're loss leaders for you to get in their store and buy a lot of other sides and items at higher prices. They go back to regular prices after that. They are valuable year round.

Ham on the other hand is really the best value before, and then again after the holidays, because they last right through Christmas. People are done with turkeys after thanksgiving except for making sandwiches for the week's lunches.

>>15103952
You fucking idiots. Thanksgiving won't be cancelled. You don't need to have a massive fucking dinner, you can just have a small one with your immediate family.

>>15111872
You’ve been worked into a shoot brother.
