Hold onto your giblets: Designer turkeys are flying off store shelves - even at prices as high as $14 a pound.
That's a $168 dent in your Thanksgiving budget if you're hunting a tasty 12-pounder.
Manhattan architect Stephen Alesch dished out more than $200 Sunday for a pair of Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch Heritage free-range turkeys, priced at $11 a pound and dubbed the "Mercedes-Benz" of birds by Dean & Deluca staff.
"They hang out in open fields," Alesch, 45, said in defense of his three-figure fowl.
"It's all about what it's been like for them for their one or two years of life."
But even Alesch had his limit.
He passed over the D'Artagnan wild turkey, selling for $14 a pound, that looked like a runway model version of the holiday staple - pale, thin, and overpriced. D'Artagnan's website boasts that their turkeys are "farm-raised from the original wild breed."

I took my dog to the vet last month. Her office is on a windy rural road. Came around a bend and nearly obliterated a flock of about 12 wild turkeys. Zero cents a pound!

Is that including any damages done to the vehicle?
