Cost Comparison: Holiday Turkeys

This is straight out of one of the Sassy Chefs' favorite magazines - Real Simple. This month's issue has a comparison of the cost of the most popular brands of Turkey, and it's worth passing along.


Butterball (frozen): $1.20 / pound

Bell & Evans (fresh): $2.10 / pound

Eberly (Organic): $2.65 / pound

Empire Kosher (Fresh Kosher): $2.90 / pound

Heritage Foods USA (Mail Order): $12.00 / pound


More expensive doesn't necessarily mean better, but it may mean more convenient. Remember that it takes 2-3 days in the fridge to thaw a 12-16 pound turkey, so buy early and thaw early. Otherwise, you may have to pay more for a fresh turkey at the last minute!
