> [@nelliebly](#): > > I guess if you love turkey, though… It has become an issue for me because I do like turkey and the once ubiquitous good-quality hofbrau like my much missed childhood favorite [Brennan’s](https://sf.eater.com/2018/8/24/17779270/brennans-restaurant-berkeley-closing) have gone the way of the Dodo in my area. It’s hard to find a quality non-microwaved turkey plate locally year round. Which leads to me wanting to cook turkeys. Which leads to me regretting cooking a turkey as even a small one is big and I can get sick of it faster than I crave it 😄. At least excess ham is easy to freeze. I do not much care for thawed cooked poultry. It’s an annoying first-world problem conundrum. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-thanksgiving-turkey-christmas/954959)._
