Turkey Talk

This Thanksgiving, 46 million turkeys (half of all turkeys sold) costing $1.3 billion will be consumed, and 88% of Americans will partake in a turkey dinner. While the average price of a 16 pound bird rose 1.3% compared to last Thanksgiving, well below the current inflation rate of 3.2%, over the past decade turkey inflation has averaged 4.8%/year vs. 2.7% for inflation. The heaviest turkey ever, 86 lbs. Happy Thanksgiving!
