Last year's shortage is over, here's what to know. With Thanksgiving looming over our heads, the need to grab a turkey has probably been lurking inside your mind for a bit now. Turkeys were hard to come by in 2022 due to several factors — but will turkey shortages persist into 2023? Nope.

Because of the way the birds are raised and what they are fed, there can be a noticeable taste difference between fresh and frozen. Fresh turkeys, with their more natural diet, can have a slightly "gamey" taste and a tougher texture. However, fresh turkeys also retain more moisture, which means more flavor.

But, the real question remains: which turkey tastes best? Fresh turkeys will hold their moisture better than frozen turkeys, bringing out a meaty texture with deeper natural flavors. It is best to preorder a fresh turkey with your local butcher and arrange to pick it up a few days before the holiday.
