King Sooper's has frozen turkey (Kroger brand) for .69/lb through Thanksgiving. 1 per transaction, with a King Sooper's card. At that price, make a couple trips to your car and stock up!
Also- in case you didn't know, Honeybaked Ham sells hambones for soup stock. They're usually frozen, but often have sliced ham leftover on them. You can get a lot of stock from one of these bones. They're usually @ $8 each, except when they have 2/1 sales near Easter time.

Can't beat 9 bucks for a 14lb bird. Picked up one last night, will put several more in the freezer.
Just a reminder, folks- the turkey sale of $.69/lb ends at 6 pm on the 27th, while supplies last.
Ham is also on sale for $1.69/lb, bone-in butt portion or shank. Again, while supplies last. This is at King Soopers, although I saw Safeway was also selling their brand of turkey for the same price.
Get some before it's too late!![]()

I canned 3 turkeys already this year. got em all at .69/lb
Save the bones for stock!
Simmering the carcasses today.
Canning the gallons of stock tomorrow.
:-D
Had Turkey day Tuesday. Took all the chicken and turkey bones throughout the year plus the three turkey carcasses we canned last weekend and added a roaster chicken into my tamale steamer, cooked at just below simmer for 12 hours.
Strained the liquid gold into my hot water bath canner and chilled overnight to coagulate the fat. Removed most of the fat (I still like some in my stock).
And here it sits warming up while the jars are getting sterilized.
Going to process these in Quarts for 30 minutes at 15 pounds pressure. 1 inch head space. (From Ball Blue Book guide to preserving)

It never occurred to me that you could can just a liquid.
