    Thats because you really shouldnt be eating a raw store turkey after cooking it for "2 hours"... poltury needs to be cooked to a certain "doneness" for most people to enjoy it, the 2 hours is a standard for the bacteria in the meat to be killed. Its not a "doneness" factor. Which is why people enjoy the pre cooked turkey. I usually just pre cook mine the day before thanksgiving along with all the desserts and snacks. this way all the fresh sides can be cooked on the same day in half the time. cook a raw turkey for at least 4 hours

    I have two of these turkeys. $54.99 plus tax for a 12-13 pound turkey when bought in the store. Online it’s $94.99 plus shipping costs. There are no sides offered with the turkey. Those are extra. The turkey is marinated then flash deep fried. It’s then immediately frozen. Takes around 2 hours to reheat. Fair warning the in store price depends on supply. Some stores may charge more if supply is low. Most in store turkeys have been sold out for weeks now.

    Popeye’s has turned into a major rip off. We got and 8 piece meal the other day. It cost $35 and the chicken pieces were puny beyond belief. The sides had shrunk by a 1/3 or 1/2. They lost my business.

    One option is to buy a boneless turkey breast, or, even easier, buy deli turkey breast, however much or as little as you want, sliced however you desire Heat in a pan with canned turkey gravy, a wonderful thing, but you can also simmer it in water, the turkey won't absorb it. And you can feast for between $10-$15, depending on what you want for sides. Thanksgiving is about being grateful and eating well, with a little effort, you can do both, without breaking the bank. I'm 65 and retired also, in the same boat, with most family gone. I hope you have a friend or someone in your life, to enjoy the day with. My uncle and I, both retired US Army sergeants, lived in apartments in the same building, and ate together in this way for many years, until he passed. He was a mess sergeant, a cook, and taught me so much. But I've worked as a supermarket deli clerk, and they will help you, in any way they can. Hope this helps.

    That’s not that expensive for 8-12 people if it was fresh!!! Never had Popeyes Turkey before but didn’t realize it was frozen. For frozen that is way too much money. It’d be fair for fresh prepared Turkey though.

    So the turkey is only about 50 bucks at the store. Don’t be lazy pull up to the restaurant. As a matter of fact it’s too late to get one anyway. And yes a turkey is easy to cook, but the seasoning and the juice that it makes is very hard to duplicate. Worth every penny. I bought two of them this year. So I could have one in the middle of the year next year.

    So I'm not a fan of Popeyes Food at all and I can understand that the price has Went up because of inflation. But to be honest I Rather still Buy my turkey at the store which I did the other day for $25 at this store called Audi's. I feel like if you shop at this particular store that I name you will be saving so much more money. Because I never knew a turkey to be 95$ plus taxes and fees. And that's just only for the turkey and that's not even a whole meal. So that's how I save my money this year I refuse to buy my food from a restaurant when I could just honestly cook my food at home for a cheaper price.
