The Turkey Wars 🍗

Let’s start with the biggie: Popeyes’ turkey! At 17 lbs for $59.99, it’s a total crowd-feeder and full of flavor.
Pro tip: make a quick turkey tent by flipping two sheets of foil shiny-side up and folding them into a little roof — it keeps things juicy while warming.

Next up, Walmart’s 12-lb turkey for $49 — the easiest to heat up, though it doesn’t come with drippings.
–
And finally, Trader Joe’s 3-lb turkey for $27, which requires basting (aka, the most work).
–
Here’s how they stacked up:
-
Popeyes: $3.50/serving – incredible flavor, juicy, and the clear winner 🏆
-
Walmart: $4.08/serving – less flavor, but very moist
-
Trader Joe’s: $9.12/serving – dry and sadly underwhelming
When it comes to no-cook turkeys, Popeyes takes the crown for taste, value, and ease! 📝 TIP: don’t toss the Popeye’s drippings, dipping your turkey in that liquid gold is a game changer 😉
