Thanksgiving facts
After stuffing myself with fried turkey, brisket, potato latkes, stuffing and brussel slaw, I wondered how many other people enjoy the same. So...I went on a Thanksgiving fact finding tour and found the following morsels for you to digest.
- Americans eat 736 milllion pounds of turkey every Thanksgiving
- That's roughly 16 lbs per person (I definitely ate more than that :)
- 88% of us eat turkey on this day
- We spend over 2.4 billion dollars on the Thanksgiving dinners
- Over 250 million turkeys were raised this year
- Minnesota raises the most, followed by North Carolina and Arkansas
- Average cost per pound of turkey...$1.15
Fun facts for a great day of food, fun and family. Now I wonder, how many different kinds of meals can you make with Turkey???
Turkey and eggs, turkey souffle, turkey pancakes, turkey loaf, turkey meatballs....
