"If you're looking for a turkey product this Thanksgiving, you'll be able to find one," said Joel Brandenberger, NTF president. "There has been a lot of discussion about whether avian influenza or the general economy is going to affect this holiday season. Thanks to the hard work of U.S. turkey producers, there will be an ample supply of turkeys available for Thanksgiving. Turkeys already are available for purchase in most grocery stores and supermarkets, and many retailers are offering special discounts and attractive prices on whole turkeys this Thanksgiving."
"Planning ahead is our top tip for securing a turkey that meets your needs – and it will also help reduce some of that holiday stress," said Beth Breeding, NTF vice president. "If there is a specific weight or style of turkey you require, you'll want to shop earlier or contact your local grocery store to find out when those products will be available. As you start to plan your meal, check out NTF's Thanksgiving 101 for our top turkey tips and recipes. You'll find everything you need from how to safely thaw your turkey to freezing the leftovers."

Want to save the leftovers for later? Or thinking ahead for meal prep? Freezing leftover turkey is a great way to keep leftovers longer and save on the grocery bill down the road.
