Popeyes' Cajun-Style Turkey is now available for home delivery
We at The Takeout are big fans of Popeyes' Cajun-Style Turkey, and judging by the annual demand, a lot of folks throughout the country are too. So, for everyone who wants to skip cooking this year, here's some good news: the Cajun turkey is returning for Thanksgiving 2022, and the pre-seasoned, pre-cooked, flash-fried, and flash-frozen bird is now available for presale. However, unlike in the past, where you had to place orders by phone or in person and then come pick up the turkey once it was ready, thecajunfix.popeyes.com now offers online ordering and home delivery.
Everything you need to know about Popeyes Cajun-Style Turkey
There will be no fussing and hawing over a turkey at the supermarket, carrying it in your basket, and lugging it into your home. Instead, it will be sent frozen to all states except Alaska and Hawaii (hey, at least you live somewhere nice).
Calling it "that simple" is a bit of an exaggeration, since there is still some culinary work required. Because Popeyes Cajun-Style Turkeys are delivered frozen, you'll need to defrost it for 48-72 hours (or maybe longer!). After it has thawed, place it in the oven for two hours (which is much shorter than cooking a raw turkey). That's a lot less labor than a traditional Thanksgiving turkey, which frequently needs basting and/or brining, as well as temperature checks for food safety.
Of course, convenience comes with a cost. Fast food has a reputation for being inexpensive, but this year's Popeyes Cajun-Style turkey costs $94.99. However, according to the website, one turkey serves eight to twelve people, so if you're feeding a minimum of eight people, that's roughly $12 per person (and less the more people you feed).
How much is the Thanksgiving 2022 Turkey
According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, turkey prices are now at record highs due to a variety of factors such as avian flu outbreaks, increased demand, inflation, and other stresses on US food systems. A complete young chicken weighing 8-16 pounds sold for $1.72 per pound in early September of this year, up from $1.44 per pound the previous year. Fresh boneless and skinless turkey breasts were even more expensive: in September, they cost $3.16 per pound, but this year they cost a record $6.70 per pound.
Last year, prices for Popeyes' Cajun-Style Turkey ranged from $39.99 to more than $50, depending on region. While the price has nearly quadrupled this year, the $94.99 number includes delivery costs, and transporting frozen food is never a cheap undertaking.
If you want an almost-guaranteed-to-be-excellent turkey from Popeyes, you won't have to leave your house this year. Even if you opt for a pre-made turkey for Thanksgiving, you can still be creative with your homemade sides.
