Not everyone wants or needs a 14-lb bird.I do all the cooking, and my wife has several genetic mitochondrial disorders that mean she basically can't eat most spices and seasonings without massive migraines and other neurological reactions - and I spice and season the hell out of everything.So it just makes almost zero sense for me to buy a turkey so large I can barely fit the damned thing into the oven.But - if turkey companies sold little bitty tiny turkeys, like the size of chickens (I dunno, 3 or 4 pounds or so, or whatever roasted chickens weigh), I'd grab one up every week or two. I love dead turkeys, I can eat 'em every day. Very healthy and al that. I'm just not going to go to all the trouble of cooking 4-6 weeks worth of turkey at a time, then breaking it down and freezing the packages and cleaning up the big roaster.But there must be some point in the progression of a baby turkey all the way up to a huge, dinosaur turkey where it's a smaller and more marketable creature. Seems to me there should be a market there somewhere.</blockquote>
