There is a chicken defrosting to use this week, and a 10 pound bag of organic white flour that was tucked in the back of a shelf in the freezer frozen for several months that can go in the pantry. These two evictions from that shelf give me room for a turkey, should I find one in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. (I sometimes wait and buy a fresh bird right before the day, but that depends on fresh birds being available and the size I want.) If I buy a frozen bird I want one without all of the injected salty crap they use. I brine the bird myself, I don't need them to make it too salty to eat ahead of time.
