Several reports claimed that there's a looming turkey supply shortage this 2015 because of the bird flu crisis that was experienced earlier this year.

As told in a report on WHDH.com, the bird flu problem last spring threatened the supply of staple holiday meat this year. They even cited statistics from the National Turkey Federation stating that about seven million turkeys were dead because of the bird flu in April.

But according to National Turkey Federation official Keith Williams, the public have nothing to worry about when it came to the supply of the bird meat as all were already put in storage back in March, prior to the attack of the bird flu.

"There will be plenty of turkey for Thanksgiving," Keith Williams reiterated to Forbes. "The growing and marketing of turkey is handled specifically to meet the annual demand at Thanksgiving."

"Frozen turkeys were produced and placed in cold storage - flash frozen quality in March, before avian influenza in late April and May," Keith Williams explained further amid the worry on Thanksgiving turkey shortage this 2015.

"The last case of avian influenza was in June," he added. "Frozen supplies continued to build throughout that time, because only a few states of the upper Midwest were affected and the remaining large producing states continued to produce daily supplies and add to cold storage."

While there were no problems in terms of supply, prices may still surge though as told by NBC News. As said in their report, the US Agriculture Department projects that turkey prices may be 20 percent higher that how much it was sold the previous year.

Amid worries for Thanksgiving turkey shortage or high prices this 2015, Yahoo! Finance thought this year might be a good time for the public to rethink the traditional holiday dinner setup. Among their suggestions were to buy the holiday meat earlier and not rush come Thanksgiving or opt for an alternative meat than the turkey.
