Cooked dark turkey meat to go?

My Kensington friend's famly has Thanksgiving in restaurants - this is great for family harmony but is very bad for turkey leftovers. In the past, I was able to get a pound of dark turkey meat from the fabulous Arguello Supermarket deli and satisfy her post-TDay and other time yearnings for it, but no more now that I have moved out of SF. Is there any place in the East Bay that regularly sells cooked dark turkey meat? This wasn't sliced turkey meat but big and little pieces right off the turkey.

I showed her where Arguello Super was but there's not much parking there so I'm hoping someone will be able to point her to a place in the East Bay. (I did peruse RW Orange's earlier post on meat sandwiches and some of those places might satisfy her if we can't find a place with loose meat.)

Thanks.

    Andronico's use to sell turkey and side dishes by the pound. I'd call or look at their website.

      Brannan's hofbrau sells "hot plates" with whole turkey legs. They might be able to sell you just the legs. They also sell carcasses for soup or stock.

        Following up: should have checked the website. They do sell just the legs, $4.95, and a whole carcass for $7.50. It's in the "Extras" section of the menu.

          Oh excellent, I'll send this info along to her. I won't feel so badly about failing to be her turkey meat supplier anymore.
          Thanks!

            Alas, I read this too late. Sauls Deli always sells dark and white cooked turkey parts. They are my go to place if I am eating out or at someone's house so I can have that post turkey day fix. It is much, much ... much better than Brennans. However, I don't think they sell the turkey th day after. They have pretty good sides as well. However .... $$$ ... but IMO, worth it. It is one fo the few things Saul's does well. However, someone said Saul's is on the upswing lately.
