As Brits I need to find a really good organic turkey for Christmas Day- do any of you have recommendations? Thanks, Nicola Sun Nov 01 09:55:49 -0800 2009 1106440 NicolainJa 1 5146966 For cooking or to eat in a restaurant?

If you're more adventurous you could try the farmer's market. But then you'd have to lug a turkey from Union Square or one of the other locations over to Chelsea.

I don't recall seeing a whole turkey at the Union Square Whole Foods outside of Thanksgiving. I was there two nights ago and had a quick look around and all I saw was whole chickens and turkey breast.

I'm sorry, but I can't remember their names. Thu Nov 05 17:15:49 -0800 2009 5146859 219126 StheJ 1 5160709 You can order a whole free range turkey, either heritage or "not" from Quattro Farms at the Union Square Greenmarket. They are there and take orders on Saturday (17th Street Side) or you can place your order by phone: (845) 635-8202 They are the best turkeys I've ever had the pleasure of preparing and eating. ;) Fri Nov 06 07:54:18 -0800 2009 5146859 52499 ChefJune 2 5162047 You can also order free range turkey from Tamarack Hollow Farms at the Union Square market on Wednesdays and Fridays. They are now taking orders for Thanksgiving. Great bacon from there, too. I think you can do much better than Whole Foods. http://www.eatwellguide.org/listing/detail/29081 Fri Nov 06 14:48:57 -0800 2009 5160709 12618 erica 2 5165081 Thanks, that's great. I have Union Square Greenmarket on my list so will definitely give Quattro a call and pre-order. Sun Nov 08 10:02:57 -0800 2009 5160709 1106440 NicolainJa
