OMG!! A 13.7 lb. turkey for $62.00!!!! I about fell over!!
So I'm walking through a local grocery store and I look down and see some turkeys. Said to myself, "I wonder what out of season turkeys sell for?"
The first price I saw was in the high $40s!! HOLY POOP!!
That screeched me to a stop and I started looking for the biggest turkey. Thats when I saw a price of almost $62.00.
Part of this obscene price was the fact it was listed as "organic" but really??
Kind of makes me wonder what the next 12 months are going to hold and I feel it isn't going to be pleasant.😲

If you want to find the biggest turkey you need to look no further than 1600 Pennsylvania ave NW.
The resident is the sole reason you are paying $62 for a 13 lb turkey.

Try pricing the kosher turkeys! Not sure how people can afford them.

I stock up on frozen turkeys during the holiday season when they are sold super cheap as promotions to get you to the store to buy other things. Looking in my freezer, I still have 2 birds in the 15 pound range I paid less than 10 bucks apiece for.
They will last quite a long time and are great to smoke during the nice weather seasons.
I do the same thing with corned beef briskets bought on sale around St. Patty's day.

A guy up the street when we were kids, we walked down and fished at a quiet reservoir everyday for years. He now raises turkeys and I hear folks are glad to pay him like $130 for a bird, not froze. Like the store ones I find for $15, maybe formerly.

I've tried wild turkey once. Had one given to me by a friend that was fresh shot, still full of guts and feathers.
Ended up skinning it (those feathers are a PITA to pluck) and got to the guts removal. That bird had the strangest anatomy of any foul thing I've ever encountered! Thinking it was lungs in the upper chest but still not quite sure. Turned to gunk and seemed to expand like spray foam insulation in a can! When I finished with it, there wasn't a lot left nor what I was expecting. Roasted it in a bag with my usual Thanksgiving seasonings and it was still quite tuff but edible. Wouldn't go out of my way to repeat unless I was near starvation.
In conclusion I compare wild turkeys to wild women. You never know where they have been nor what you're gonna end up with from such encounters!

Avian flu has been tough on poultry production.
Again, THANK YOU CHINA

Sounds like you're describing the 'crop' which where the turkey's food goes for initial breakdown prior to entering the digestive tract. Doesn't take long for that to begin to 'blow up' after the bird dies.
