If you're planning on serving your family a fresh turkey this Thanksgiving, you may be hard pressed to find one available at your local supermarket.
Less than two weeks before the year's greatest food holiday, Butterball, the nation's largest producer of turkeys, is warning of a shortage of birds.
Butterball announced that it will be shipping out half as many large, fresh never-frozen turkeys to retailers this year. The company says many of its birds had trouble gaining weight during the production process. And though the cause of the problem remains a mystery, food distributors say their orders for turkeys 16 pounds and bigger have been slashed in half. Sixteen pounds is the national average for Thanksgiving holiday turkeys making this shortage a particularly concerning problem.

This might not seem like a big deal to some but, I can think of a several dozen housewives/cooks who might be having a panic attack about now.

Damnit! I hate it when I have to go out and shoot my own turkey.
Prices just doubled, I'm sure.
Considering I have a flock, actually two, of wild turkeys that meander through my yard on any given day, I may be able to get mine at cut rate prices. :lol:
I didn't see your post before I posted mine.
We in the same hood?
I can see the Smokey Mountains, can you?

Why? Wild Turkey in my area at least is so tough and stringy that there is really no point killing one.
Speaking of turkeys and smoke I'm going to try my hand at supplementing the turkey with a smoked turkey breast this year. Any hints or advice on properly smoking a turkey?

Hmmm when I have some Wild Turkey I usually end up on the floor.
In related news, the Obama administration warns that they are running out of subsidized exchange health insurance plans. Better shop early folks!!
Tell Butterball to go to the Whitehouse.
