Whole turkey breasts in the city?

[jmconcierge]

Has anyone seen any whole turkey breasts for sale in the city lately? I know it seems kind of silly, but this upcoming Thanksgiving will be the second in a row without the bird, and I'd like to get a little turkey down my gullet beforehand.

I'm in the Mission, and they are not at any Safeway near by, Cala Foods, Whole Foods on Potrero, Drewes Brothers, or Bristol Farms. Any ideas?

I've also looked many times at Safeway (this is the one at Mission & 30th) and haven't seen them. Sometimes I just feel like making a bone-in turkey breast. The butcher always insists they are coming in. I'm sure you can order or reserve one. There's a young woman who works at the meat counter who is a gem--talk to her.

I've bought whole turkey breasts at Trader Joe's (9th and Bryant) -- Aaron's kosher turkey. Since it's kosher, it's as if it's pre-brined. Very tasty and very affordable.

Pretty sure these are the half breasts discussed above.

I have often bought whole, bone-in, skin-on turkey breasts from the butcher in what I believe is called Mission Market, at the northwest corner of Mission and 23rd or maybe 22nd Street.

Trader Joe's has bone-in, kosher turkey breasts. Delicious!

OK, so I called TJ's and asked them if they had whole turkey breasts and was told that they did. I went there and what they call whole breasts were actually boneless/skinless half breasts. I guess I should have been more specific- my mistake.

I finally did find frozen whole breasts at the Safeway on 16th & Bryant (the one Safeway in my neighborhood I hadn't checked). Thanks for the replys everyone!
