Craving a Turkey Dinner

Yeah it seems like the only time turkey goes on sell is during thanksgiving or Christmas. Although that does sound good turkey for Easter.

I do not know where you live, or I would suggest you find a turkey farm and buy it direct. Turkey is still cheaper here than most other meat, even at this time of year. There is a restaurant near where my sister in law lives in New Hampshire that serves the full turkey meal year around. They even cater for a scenic train ride. I think that would be fun to go on.Yummy!! It is called Hart's Turkey Farm.

Thats what Im waiting for. As soon as they go on sale Im there getting my turkey. I love turkey too and Im cooking Easter dinner at my house so Im going to have turkey and a ham. Sound good?

Oh I know the feeling. Usually in our area Wal-Mart will put turkey's on sale every few weeks but sometimes you do miss the sales. Something you might want to try is pick up like a banquet sliced turkey. Its not as good but they have the slices of meat and the gravey there just ready to be cooked. Then you just have to add in all the side dishes like potatos and stuffing. I might just do this tonight. I had picked up a box of the turkey slices earlier in the month but hadn't used it yet. Tonight might be just right for it :)

I just had my Easter turkey dinner today, because I am going out of town on Easter. It was very good. I had mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, hot rolls and banana pie.All my kids and my grandkids came over to eat.

turkey does sound yummy...i always buy a couple extra at christmas time when there cheap..they strore quite awhile in the freezer...think i'll pull one out...i love making turkey soup out of the left over carcass...maybe they will go on sale for Easter this week...seems like only hams are around us though

Chicken isn't the same is it. Now you have me thinking Turkey dinner. Yummy. That just sounds so good right now. It is cool and cloudy here today, only 55F; and that is a real comfort food meal. I can't fix turkey though without all the fixin's you described too. I haven't checked the price here, but I am sure it's high.

No, chicken would not be the same. I love the turkey dinner also. Thanksgiving is always such a warm time in our house, and I really enjoy it! You are going to make me crave a Turkey Dinner too! LOL :) I love the homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, the dark meat of the Turkey, the trays of veggies and pickles, and I love the pies with loads of Cool Whip!!! YUMMY! Maybe you can try to find a frozen dinner with turkey, and mashed potatoes and gravy. Then all you need to do is buy some pie. :) LOL

Have you ever had Cornish hens? I don't know if you can get them where you are but I would think so. I find them similar to a turkey and I can get one per person at not a lot of money. Turkey is the first meat my daughter decided she liked. She now eats several things that are meat. I am so glad she will eat meat a little now. I don't have to worry so much about her iron. She doesn't like peanut butter any more!LOL

I dearly love turkey and can eat it at least once a week throughout the year as well but I understand about the price. I can't figure out why it would be so expensive; should be less. Oh, well...I love it with mashed and cranberry sauce and stuffing...but if I don't have any of those I just eat it on a sandwich...laugh out loud.

Here in Australia we can get a self basting turkey hindquarter, frozen, around 2kg. They are just beautiful. I love roast turkey with roast potato, pumpkin, sweet potato and a green vegetable or maybe a mix of peas and corn. I make a lovely rich gravy out of the pan juices and have cranberry sauce as well. This is usually Christmas fare but I have it in the cooler months and in October for my birthday as well. Lately, the deli in the supermarket has been selling turkey chops. They are so tender and tasty and surprisingly inexpensive. I have these with mashed potato and other veges and cranberry as well. Yummeh!

it's great to have a turkey in your dinner,can you tell me how to cook a turkey???

yumm I just asked mom this afternoon are we having turkey for Easter.I'm so wanting of that turkey with stuffing and whipped potatoes and gravy and veggies ..i swear i can smell it now..my mouth is watering..and apple pie and ice cream..and that wondering feeling of being too full and being so sleepy you wonder how am i ever going to do the dishes lol..I love big family dinners we rarely have the time these days to get together I can't wait till next Sunday... thanks for making me oh so hungry Cheryl

I feel what you're saying! I just might have a solution to your problem. I have 4 adult daughters, 6 granddaughters and greatgrands. We sometimes like to get together for family dinners (for no particular occasion). On these occasions each one brings a dish to contribute to the meal so as not to overburden anyone. We used to do it once a month and recently decided to start again.

I get that way,too. Several times a year I like to have a nice turkey dinner. I could kick myself,Giant Eagle had them on sale for .99/lb. That didn't seem like a bad price for this time of year,but I didn't get one.

I like to eat turkey as well. But we mostly eat chicken and use turkey very less at home. I think not only turkey but for every meat price is rising high this time, even for chicken. Hope you get some good deal on turkey and make a nice dinner.

I'm like you. I just don't wait for Thanksgiving to enjoy a turkey dinner. I don't know where you live, but you still can get a good price at Aldis or Sam's Club. Go ahead and get yourself one and have a nice Sunday feast. You'll enjoy. Lloyd

My students and I go one day a week to a local day treatment program for chronically mentally ill people. (really bad depression, schizophrenia, bi-polar etc) They were planning an Easter luncheon and the therapist asked them what they preferred, a Spring cookout or ham. They all said, "neither, we want a turkey with all the extras!" Seems like a lot of people are craving turkey, as I am too! I noticed a $1.00 off a whole turkey coupon in my Sunday newspaper insert today. Of course as high as they are priced, that isn't much!

I am so ready for turkey myself. I love the hot turkey sandwiches for days afterward. We are not having the nicest weather right now so roast turkey and mashed potatoes etc will do nicely. Chicken is nice but turkey just seems like a treat. I hope you find a good sale.

I'm with you. I love turkey too. I will make one just for my husband and me, and eat leftovers until it's all gone. You're right, chicken is not the same
