Popeyes says Cajun-Style Turkey purchases don’t include side orders, but the limited-time Thanksgiving dish pairs well with its signature mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, biscuits or one of the chain’s other southern sides.
Turkey prices are expected to be higher this year due to inflation and avian flu outbreaks, according to a report published by the American Farm Bureau Federation on Sept. 28.
The Washington, D.C.-based agriculture insurance company and lobbying group noted that all retail food prices were 11.4% higher in August compared to last year.
