Pro Tips for Turkey Triumph

- Consider Frozen: Frozen turkeys are just as delicious as fresh turkeys and often come at a lower price. Just be sure to thaw it properly before cooking.

- Read the Fine Print: Some deals may require a minimum purchase or have other restrictions. Be sure to read the fine print before you commit to a purchase.
