More than two weeks after Thanksgiving, Whole Foods Market in Paramus is still selling turkey -- and it's a bargain.
Last week, I picked up trays of turkey drumsticks and thighs for only 99 cents a pound. I called the butcher counter this morning, and was assured more parts were available at this price.
As with all Whole Foods meat and poultry, the turkeys were raised on a vegetarian diet free of antibiotics and growth hormones.
At 99 cents a pound, these turkey parts are cheaper than antibiotic-free chicken parts from Readington Farms or Coleman Organic.
Two large turkey thighs at Whole Foods were $2.07, and trays of two drumsticks were $1.64 and $1.91.
For dinner, I picked up 2 pounds of Blue Bay farmed mussels from Canada for $5.99.
I gladly pay more than at other stores, because these mussels are ready to remove from the net bag and put in a pot.
All I have to do is add chopped tomato, a few ounces of cheap sake and seasoning, and steam them open. They are always grit free -- unlike mussels I've purchased elsewhere.
This is a two-course meal: tender meat plucked from the open shells and a delicious broth.
Whole Foods Market, 300 Bergen Town Center, Paramus;
201-226-1244. Open seven days 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
1. The folks at Wondee's are wonderful and don't deserve to be ruined by a reality show that's more scripted than you think.
ReplyDelete2 Why would you let you wife hold your baseball cap in her lap? Hold it yourself.
3. You should still inspect mussels, or at least give them a cursory glance, before dumping them into a pot.
I was planning to ask them if they want to be part of the show.
