When we cook a turkey most of what my wife and I like to consume is the breast meat, leaving wing, thigh and leg left overs.
What is left over I strip off the bone dice up and we use that meat filling with Pillsbury Pie Crusts to make pot pies, minus the cannabis. .;-)
My wife buys mixed canned vegetables which includes potatoes, I under-mix homemade gravy making it overly thick to compensate for the moisture that the meat and the canned vegetables will produce.
From that I commonly get four pot pies out of the left overs, which makes buying a full turkey when they are on sale a whole lot less expensive as almost nothing is served to the cats, which for some reason they love turkey over any other type of poultry.
Normally a full turkey is more than what I am willing to pay for, but around Thanksgiving and Christmas the price lately has dropped to $.99 per pound, but the Winn Dixie here limits one turkey per customer, so I go shopping with my wife, she loads up her cart with nowadays rather expensive groceries and a turkey, while I buy a turkey, take it out to the truck place it into the cooler go back in and buy another one and repeat the process until I have enough turkeys to stock our freezers.
And I am in total compliance with the one turkey per customer "rules" as each time I go back the buy another turkey I am legally a "customer," the rule doesn't state one turkey per customer, per day. ;-)
Now I do understand if I loaded my cart with six turkeys there is a good chance I would be allowed to check out, but if some Karen was in line, that could be a problem and that is a condition I don't want to put a checkout cashier into.
So I play the game follow the rules and buy what we can store.
