Seven Choices Of Fresh Turkey At Fairway

Want to get beyond the Butterball this Thanksgiving? 

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 Fairway and Mrs. Green's.

Fairway even offers a way to reserve the size turkey you want, and the type online. Select from seven different turkeys from Fairway's antibiotic, fresh, whole turkey for $2.99 a pound to its organic, fresh, never frozen, whole turkey for $4.99.   Fairway is located in The Shops At Nanuet at 75 West Route 59.

Mrs. Green's is all over our region, with one store in Rockland County at 26 Indian Rock in Suffern. 

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. That would be Steve's Prime Meats at 27 Lake Road in Congers.

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.
