Where to Find a Fresh Turkey in Brewster

Want to get beyond the Butterball this Thanksgiving? Local businesses are here to help.

Kobacker's Market at 90 Main Street in Brewster is selling fresh-killed turkeys for $1.59 per pound. Organic fresh-killed are $2.99 per pound. Orders should be placed as soon as possible. The store's full Thanksgiving menu—which includes stuffing, desserts and cooked birds, too—is available here.

Salinger's at 230 Guinea Road in Southeast is also requesting orders be placed sooner rather than later. Fresh-killed turkeys will go for market price. They should be picked up between Sunday, Nov. 24 and Wednesday, Nov. 27. 

Freshly-baked pies and spiral hams are also available at Salinger's.

If you want more options, the editors at Epicurious did a turkey taste test so you wouldn't have to. And the good news is that one of the brands their judges preferred is available locally at Mrs. Green's, Whole Foods and Fairway.

Fairway even offers a way to reserve the size turkey you want, online.  

Mrs. Green's is all over our region, with many stores in Westchester and one each in Putnam and Rockland counties.

Or, you can go to Whole Foods in Westchester or northern New Jersey for your choice of free-range, brined, organic or local turkeys.

Want to take it up yet another notch? Order one from your local butcher.

If you're on the Sound Shore, you have till Nov. 19 to order up a fresh-killed kosher bird from the New Roc Glatt Gourmet Kosher Foodmarket. 

Meanwhile watch this Flickr video from Stone Barns of the running of the turkeys. Hope it becomes an annual event. Though sorry, folks, they're sold out.
