1955 food ad
Back then, turkey was an expensive holiday meal. According to the inflation calculator, one dollar in 1955 would be worth $4.42 in 2014.
What on earth is a "broiler turkey?" They don't list the price in this ad for the "Fresh Killed White Rock Native Turkey." Like a free range "heritage" bird from Metropolitan Market now, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

I'll be getting our turkey at QFC (Kroger) this weekend, where the special is 69 cents a pound with a $30 purchase. That's a bargain, compared to 1955. On the other hand, since we eat turkey all year round, I kind of miss that special anticipation of a real turkey dinner. Also the leftover sandwiches were a treat back in the days before turkey lunch meat was invented. Once again, I date myself.
Here's some retro inspiration to help with your recipe planning!
