Stupid Thanksgiving question
Are fresh turkeys not the standard in the US? People all over the nest keep posting about thawing out the turkey, which leaves me confused.
I'll admit to not seeing turkeys in a lot of shops year round but I've also never seen frozen ones - or do people freeeze them themselves?
It just seems counterproductive for such a big piece of meat.

Lots of US supermarkets give away frozen turkeys if you buy so much food in Oct etc.
My dad used to get frozen turkeys from work. So yeah I don't think my family ever had a fresh one.
In general meat in the US comes from large factory type things, esp. true for poultry. Free range is much more expensive, this is why meat is so much cheaper in the US.

I've never gotten a fresh turkey because it's an outrageous price in comparison. Sometimes ten times the price of frozen.
I've always had frozen turkey in the US and never thought twice about it. I am not even sure where to find the fresh ones, or that you could get it fresh.
Here in Belgium, I bought two fresh turkey breast "roasts" for about 9 EUR each. I'm the back up turkey meat, made easily in the crock pot
We're headed to the Maldives on Christmas Eve!
I got the same thing, and I'm putting it in the crock pot. Could you share your recipe?
