Still, the holiday's centerpiece, turkey,
will cost 5.6% less than last year.
On average, shoppers can expect to
spend about $27 for a 16-pound bird.
Efforts to limit the spread of
avian bird flu have also reduced prices.
Traditionally, the turkey is the most expensive
item on the Thanksgiving dinner table.

prices have fallen thanks to a sharp reduction
in cases of avian influenza, which have allowed
production to increase in time for the holiday, Veronica Nigh, senior economist at the AFBF, via CNN.
While shoppers will see a slight
improvement in the cost of a
Thanksgiving dinner, high inflation
continues to hammer families across the
country, including the nation’s farmers, Zippy Duvall, president of the AFBF, via CNN.
