Even though the grocery stores will be packed this week, make sure to get to your local store to stock up on all the grocery deals going on now. Frozen whole turkeys can be stored in the freezer for at least 12 months, so November is a great time for stock up on these frozen birds. Many grocery stores even give FREE turkeys away with certian purchases so watch out for the best deals.
Why stock up on turkey? Well there are just so many different meal options for left-over turkey. You can make oven roasted turkey the first day, then have enough meat left over to make a week's worth of dinners and lunches - thus saving you money on your grocery bill.
I have noted before the advantadges of owner a chest freezer. That way you can buy at least 3 frozen turkeys at the rock-bottom prices that November brings. Use one for Thanksgiving and plan delicious leftovers for that week afterwards. Use one for Christmas and the other one to be used in the next coming year.
Leftovers don't have to be boring. Look for reciepes online for turkey:
- Casseroles
- Soups
- Sandwhiches
- Stir-fries
- Unique Rice Pilafs
