The search for the golden goose proved fruitful. Our research found at least two turkeys priced at bank-breaking records that would leave even the luxurious Erewhon shaking in its boots.
For the record, a whole-body turkey from Erewhon's website costs a little over $100 for a bird weighing between 16 and 20 pounds.
Spotted in the refrigerated meat section of Gelson's on West Olympic Blvd: one bird weighed in at $177.62, and another at $187.71.
