The prices for this traditional Thanksgiving dinner centerpiece will vary depending on which state you live in. 

The cost relies heavily on factors like transportation costs, local demand and supply chain adaptability.

For example, Hawaii and Alaska have the highest turkey prices due to the high cost of transporting goods to their states.

This year’s price drop nationwide was driven by more stable supply chains and lower cases of bird flu, particularly in Minnesota, a top turkey producer.

A CBS News report confirms that “supply chains have recovered from the pandemic.”

“With the bird flu not having the same impact on Minnesota turkeys as in recent years, supply is high,” the report says.
