I saw a sale on turkeys for $0.29 cents a pound (God bless America!), but I'm only cooking for one and I've never prepared a whole bird before, not even chicken. It's real tempting to buy one but how can I make this work? Usually if I buy a pack of drumsticks or something I put them in individual containers for the freezer and prepare one each day. Is reasonable to cut up a turkey that way? If I roast the whole bird, how can I divide it and store/reheat the cooked meat without ruining it?
How would you divide a 15-lb turkey into one-person portions?

do it how large inventory logistics does it but scale it down, basically you have 3 inventories: front, back, gigaback
F1: front would be ur fridge (e.g. stuff u cooked)
B1: Freezer. back would be stuff u will dig into in the next week or so
B2: gigaback is just longer-term storage
So the B1 is exactly how you do it now with containers
B2 doesn't have to be portioned and it can just be one or more vacuum sealed bags for longterm storage. Store this wherever it fits in ur freezer, because you don't care about quick access, as that's what B1 is there for

That makes sense. I could cut it up into large pieces like the chicken method, then thaw one piece at a time and cut that up into portions for a few days.
