Fresh Turkey - Peterborough

[thenurse]

We will be heading to the cottage on Friday for Thanksgiving, Toronto to Apsley, and would like to pick up a fresh turkey on the way. I am aware I can get one in Toronto, but we have a day's worth of business in Peterborough so I don't want it to sit in the car all day. Does anyone know of a place on the way, preferably in Peterborough or on the way to Apsley, to pick up a fresh turkey?

Thanks everyone. I did a google search after I posted and found Franzs, on Lansdowne. We're picking up the turkey tomorrow on the way up. Thanks for your suggestions, which I will keep in mind for next time.

We've been getting our fresh turkeys directly from the Gray farm for many, many years. They are always juicy, well priced and absolutely delicious. The farm is located a few km's east of Peterborough. The following information is from the Kawartha Choice website.

Ditto to this recommendation. I have been buying Thanksgiving turkeys from them for at least 25 years. The birds are delicious and, as earthgoat says, very well priced. I know they operate on a pre-ordered basis, but I think they usually have a few extras available for sale as well. But definitely call ahead.

Costco has fresh turkey's here. I presume the Peterborough location should have them as well.
