If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
Ok, just now got around to checking, and Kroger has their store brand frozen turkeys for 49 cents per pound. Price is 99 cents, prior to a 50 cent per pound digital coupon, which you can apply to up to TWO turkeys, but it requires purchase of an additional $25 in groceries. One digital coupon ends today (19th), but another comes active tomorrow (20th) through the following Tuesday.
Looks like I will run for a case of beer and two turkeys some time today, haha!
For those questioning Kroger brand turkeys - not sure who packs them, but I've never had issues with them - similar results to Butterball, Honeysuckle White, other brands.
Hmm, I've not been feeling well, so have not made my usual Costco trip to check on turkeys. I'm not cooking this year, but I love turkey and usually get one or two for the freezer. There are no Kroger stores here, but we have Kroger delivery which I love. Will check and see if same digital coupons can be used there, they always have a long string, and can get it brought straight to house. Thanks!
I think the coupon while I was logged into the Kroger app looked like it would let me shop the coupon, once clipped, for pickup or delivery. You just had to pick the size range (12-14, 16-20, 20-24, etc).
I am planning to thaw one for T-day, and leave the other in the deep freeze, which is getting sparse, for future use.

I just bought our Turkey yesterday. Our Local Super Value grocery store is selling their store brand, Essential Everyday Turkeys, for .99/pound. We've always had good luck with this brand. I will spatchcock, brine, and roast on the LSG Adjustable with a few Apple chucks.
I'm gonna debate it for a bit, between spatchcock/rotisserie/deconstructed. Thaw time is the same - just that final day of prep changes. And of course, cooking time.
Several years ago when I still lived in Chattanooga, Tn I was at our local Publix looking at a frozen turkey. I had a choice between Butterball and Publix brand. I found a Publix branded turkey with a Butterball weight and info tag on it just like the ones on the branded Butterball turkey. I showed it to a Publix employee, and he said "..ok..." Then he walked away. So that made me think who supplied Publix with their turkey.
Yeah. I think the Kroger brand turkeys come from "Honeysuckle White", which is another brand I've seen around, and in the Kroger app, those turkeys also qualify for the same 49 cents per pound as the Kroger brand ones, which further reinforces it.
Mariano’s here in Chicago, which is owned by Kroger had Jennie-O turkeys for $.59 per pound. I bought one from them and another from Jewel-osco which is running the exact same sale
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

I haven’t checked out Mariano’s yet. In years past you could get the sale price if you spent at least $25. I learned the hard way that the $25 threshold didn’t include alcohol.
Costco had it for 99¢ pound yesterday for Butterball Fresh turkey. I was a little confused because they all had sell by dates in December. I thought unfrozen turkeys had a short shelf life in the fridge for a few days.
Yeah. I think the "fresh" label is a misnomer. According to the USDA, it simply means the turkey has never been stored colder than 26F. If it is frozen to 0F or lower, it has to be labeled "frozen".
Thanks! I guess I could’ve purchased it and left it in the fridge for a week before I smoke it. Good to know. Normally I buy then the weekend before but we’re heading to Indy on Saturday morning for the weekend.
Thanks for the heads up. I've yet to go shopping, but see that the Publix turkey says frozen with "no further processing", implying not injected/brined. So I may go that way.

I ended up buying Publix turkeys - same 49 cents per pound, limit 2, but no additional purchase required, and no hassle with loading a digital coupon. They had a couple monster 30+ pounders in the case. I got a more sane 17 and 19 pound size.
