USDA weekly data showed fresh whole young turkey hens averaging 183.82 cents per pound, while frozen basted young toms averaged 189.33 cents per pound. Boneless skinless tom breast prices rose 18.4 cents to 308 cents per pound, while mechanically separated turkey prices edged lower.
Higher prices for whole birds and breast meat point to firmer wholesale demand, though the decline in mechanically separated turkey shows mixed conditions across cuts. The figures are a modest signal for turkey buyers rather than a broad poultry supply shock.
