You can usually get fresh (not frozen) turkeys around the holidays but

Some years ago we bought a really fresh fresh bird locally. It was
better but much more expensive. Don't recall the price but at least
triple.

Went to my son's house and we had a frozen bird that was 49 cents a
pound. It was pretty damned good for that price.

The gourmet in thing now are those heritage turkeys that go for $100.
They are closer to what real turkeys were like 200 years ago. Not sure
I'd like it, as they are supposed to be more like dark meat and I
like the white meat.
