Survey: Turkey Prices Down, Thanksgiving Feast Price Flat This Year

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Don't feel bad about getting an extra-large turkey this year: prices of the holiday centerpiece are at their lowest holiday level in nearly a decade.

The statistic is one of the findings of the American Farm Bureau Federation's 34th-annual survey of food item prices around Thanksgiving.

Morning Consult surveyed 2,200 adults in late October and early November and found the average cost of a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people is $48.91, one cent higher than last year.

Turkey prices, meanwhile, were down four percent from 2018, with a 16-pound bird coming in at $20.80, the survey found.
