Turkeys are a lot cheaper this Thanksgiving. Here’s why
SUMMARY: The American Farm Bureau Federation reports that in August 2023, the average price of an 8-to-16-pound turkey fell 22% from the previous year to $1.27 per pound, due to the mitigation of a severe avian flu outbreak. Earlier in 2022, the largest U.S. bird flu outbreak killed over 60 million birds, spiking poultry and egg prices. While a better situation is now seen in the poultry industry, influenza cases are rising again, potentially limiting the availability of fresh turkeys. Consumers are advised to order fresh turkeys promptly as frozen ones have better availability and are cheaper, with various grocery stores listing different prices per pound. Despite inflation cooling off, prices in general haven't declined significantly, with an inflation target near 2% hoped for by 2024.
