Cost of Cooking Thanksgiving Turkey

Approximately 46 million turkeys will be put into the oven or deep fired today for the Thanksgiving Day feast.
But how much are Americans expected to spend cooking just that portion of the meal?
The answer is a bit more than you expect.
TXU Energy estimates that nearly 27 million turkeys (26,680,000 to be exact) will be cooked with electricity this Thanksgiving Day holiday.
At 8 kilowatts per hour for up to four hours, you are taking about a whooping $25 million to cook that turkey. And that price isn’t including the 23 million other turkeys that are cooked by gas.
