Thanksgiving turkey prices are high due to increased food and processing costs that producers are forced to pass on to consumers, turkey farmers told Fox News.
The cost of other Thanksgiving favorites such as pumpkin pie mix, cubed stuffing, rolls, green beans and sweet potatoes have also increased.
"What's also interesting this year is that even though our demand is higher than ever, we had to raise less turkeys than last year because our processor didn't have enough help to process enough," Deanna said. "Earlier this year, there were some poultry plants that just completely had to be shut down," Deanna said."There's a lot of turkeys that were just gone, wiped off."Demand was so high this year that the turkey-farming couple is already accepting deposits for their 2023 turkeys.
