From the story:
A contractor had roasted and primped the turkey to adorn the buffet line,
while the 600 soldiers were served from cafeteria-style steam trays, the
officials said. They said the bird was not placed there in anticipation of
Bush's stealthy visit, and military sources said a trophy turkey is a
standard feature of holiday chow lines.


Contractor / Iraq / Military / Presidential visit

....$47,000 Thanksgiving Day (table dressing) military turkey.

That's my taxpayer guess g. Am I too low?
