Re: Observations at Curbside Pickup

@On It @I typically buy 2-3 turkeys this time of year while I can find them for a lower  price per pound. I put the extras in my large freezer and use them later. Usually in the Spring and again in Midsummer.  I use every bit for sandwiches, chili, soups, stews, salads, etc. people always look at me like I'm nuts when my cart has 3 frozen turkeys in it. 😊 Maybe that's what you saw.

Re: Observations at Curbside Pickup

My mom used to have frozen turkeys cut in half lengthwise, for the freezer so she didn't have to cook the whole thing at once.

Re: Observations at Curbside Pickup

Curbside pickup has been such a bright spot during this tough time for me!  I have done it SO many times and never had one issue with anything-thanks you!!

I forgot the buttermilk for my cornbread dressing, so yesterday I did a quick order and added some more things for curbside pickup. They had no pickup times available for yesterday, so I scheduled this morning (Tuesday) at 9:00 am. We parked beside the exit to the waiting area, and we could see everyone's order in the baskets.

 

Most of the orders were small, but two were quite large, and I saw they each had a frozen turkey. I guess they will have to defrost their bird in cold water. I don't know how they could get one thawed in two days in the refrigerator.

 


@On It   The turkeys may not have been frozen.

 

I have never purchased a frozen turkey.  Always picked up a fresh turkey at the local meat store and the butcher would wrapped in a plastic bag and the butcher paper.

 

Even frozen there is still enough time to defrost in a sink, though.
