Global Thanksgiving Overseas Turkey Shipments Ended
Civilians face smaller turkey supplies for Thanksgiving while the armed forces receive a large, globally distributed quota totaling 13.2 million pounds overseas and 22.5 million pounds for island installations and U.S. troops. Col. Henry R McKenzie notes the “tremendous” effort behind marketing, processing, and shipping. FDA cautions early turkeys were used for service members, predicting civilian supply will be tight despite near-record totals. FDA expects improvement by Christmas but distribution to deficit areas will persist. The master menu for the armed forces includes Roast Turkey with giblet gravy, sage dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, buttered peas, creamed corn, tomato salad, pickles, hot rolls, pumpkin, apples, grapes, nuts, coffee.
