The Albertson's near my church is going out of business. (Thankfully, the one by my house is very much alive and well!) They had turkeys on sale for 29 cents a pound. I bought a 12-pounder for only $3.53! I prepared it yesterday.
We had a typical turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and cranberry sauce. After dinner I set about the task of deboning the turkey and fending off anxious cats who wanted their share. I filled one of my larger mixing bowls with turkey pieces.
I packaged most of it for the freezer by putting it in ziplocs. I wound up with 5 bags for the freezer. The rest was put into a Rubbermaid container for the fridge. We'll eat it as leftovers, or I'll make something else with it.
Counting last night's dinner, I'm getting at least 7 meals out of $3.53 worth of meat. That comes out to approximately 50 cents per meal! Pretty good, don't you think?

My favorite turkey leftover of all time is turkey broth, which I then combine with some veggies, some leftover turkey meat, and alphabet pasta to make a nice soup. Yum!
That is awesome!
Fabulous! For some reason, food always tastes better when you know you got a great deal on it and didn't just throw your money away on namebrand. Congrats on the leftovers!
What a blessing! I agree- it tastes better when you know you got a great bargain!
