Its 16 days till Thanksgiving and I just noticed Safeway has started selling frozen turkeys at 69 cents a pound. I am pretty sure they will be going much cheaper than that just before Thanksgiving. I think in the past couple of years they have gone down around 30 cents a pound which means the stores lose a lot of money on each turkey sold.

Anyway if you have any turkey tips for cooking etc. lets hear it. In the past few years I have typically gone with a big frozen bird then brine it for a day or so. I like that much better than my friends who cook the turkey in a fryer. I think that can lead to an overcooked bird. But its not a bad way to spend an hour or so outside around the burner.

This year I am thinking of going with a fresh turkey and I found a new recipe that calls for salting the bird for 3-4 days before cooking and skipping the brining. It doesnt call for covering the turkey but maybe with a smaller turkey it works out. Heres a link to the newest way to cook a turkey.
