Where to Find a Fresh Turkey in Westchester

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 Mrs. Green's, Whole Foods and Fairway.

Fairway even offers a way to reserve the size turkey you want, online.  

Mrs. Green's is all over our region, with many stores in Westchester (nearby locations include Central Avenue in Scarsdale and in Briarcliff Manor) and one each in Putnam and Rockland counties.

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.

If you're on the Sound Shore, you have till Nov. 19 to order up a fresh-killed kosher bird from the New Roc Glatt Gourmet Kosher Foodmarket.

The Irvington Farmers Market is offering two options for a fresh bird.

Millerton's McEnroe Organic Farm and Rhinebeck's Raghoo Farms will be delivering turkeys to the Wednesday, Nov. 27 market.

To pre-order:

• From Raghoo Farms — email raghoofarms@gmail.com ($5/pound)
• From McEnroe Organic Farm — order online or call 518-789-4191 ($6/pound)

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.
