The price of a whole 16-pound turkey in the United States is expected to reach 24.69 U.S. dollars in the week before Thanksgiving in 2022. This marks the highest retail price for a whole turkey in over a decade. In 2018, a turkey only cost 13.46 U.S. dollars in the week before Thanksgiving.

The survey statistics are based off of an independent survey of 2,760 American residents.

83% of people plan to eat turkey on Thanksgiving. This is down from 88% last year (that’s a 5.7% decrease)The average price of turkey per pound is $1.53. This is up 12.5% compared to last year’s price of $1.36 per pound.

74% of people prefer to have a second protein on the table (65% also want ham. 28% also want chicken, and 7% also want either roast beef or steak.)

62% of people said mashed potatoes were their favorite side, which made it the most popular  (WHAT - it isn’t green bean casserole!!!)

And, something to remember - It isn’t what you eat between Thanksgiving and New Year that makes you fat, it is what you eat between New Year and Thanksgiving that makes you fat!!!

WRAP-UP

Thanksgiving is about “giving thanks”.  The Pilgrims were agrarian and gave thanks for a good harvest, and thanks to God for His blessings. 

1 Thessalonians 5:18 says “In everything give thanks”. 

May you and all those that you hold dear have a blessed Thanksgiving.

LOVE WINS / LOVE TRANSFORMS
