State Wide, Iowa – A spokeswoman for the Iowa Turkey Federation in Ames says Iowans will be paying a little less for their big birds this Thanksgiving.
Prices have dropped on whole turkeys at many of the state’s larger grocery chains to between $1.50 or $2.00 a pound. Sheila Larson says supplies are good, too.
Iowa is one of the nation’s top turkey producers, and Larson says the state’s market share is growing.
Consumers can find a host of turkey tidbits, including recipes and tips on what to do with leftovers, at the website iowaturkey.org.
