I know. I (we - all of us in this house) prefer white meat. I'd just buy a breast to cook it, but it's cheaper to buy the whole bird (and, yes, waste what I don't want).It’s just the 2 of us this year and the smallest I could find was 13.35lb so I’ll be using the leftovers in lots of ways. Last year we just bought a small boneless one but they wanted $15 for it this year so I just went with the whole turkey. Only paid about $13 for it and it will go a-lot further.
