Turkey should be served more often than just on a few holidays.  At our house it’s served year round and it provides many economical meals.  Not only the initial smoked/roasted turkey with all it’s sides but all those wonderful leftover sandwiches, soups, and casseroles.  I always make room in our freezer at holiday time to store the great deals that grocers advertise to get you in the front door.

Everyone naturally levitates to the Brand Name Turkeys, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but are you aware that your chain store grocer in-house brand named turkeys are provided by those same brand named companies that we’re all familiar with.  In our case, our local Savemart brand is Master Cut and I’ve been serving my family and friends many scrumptious meals with this brand name.  Besides, not only are you getting a quality product but you can save a lot of money. This particular 10 lb Bone-In Turkey Breast I smoked was normally priced at $2.19/lb but I paid $0.99/lb and it cost me $10 rather than $21.50.  Be on the lookout during the holidays and right after when grocery stores are liquidating their unsold inventory.  You will find great deals!!  Properly stored a frozen turkey can last many months in the freezer.
