The deadline to order your high-quality birds for Turkey Day is fast approaching.� Most local farms need their counts in now-ish, so if you aren't buying a Butterball, get your order in.�� Some purveyors, like Griggstown Quail Farm, will even brine, truss and make your bird completely oven-ready for an additional fee or increased price per pound.� As the helpful woman on the phone put it, "All you have to do is open the oven."
A few well-recommended sources for natural, free-range, organic, heritage or otherwise relaxed turkeys:
Griggstown Quail Farm:� All natural free-range turkey, $3.79/lb.� Oven-ready free-range, $5.49/lb.� Red Bourbon heirloom turkey, $7.99/lb; add $30 flat to make oven-ready.� Order online at griggstownquailfarm.com or by telephone, 908-359-5218,� by Wed., Nov. 18.� Pick up your turkey at the Headhouse Farmer's Market, Second St. between South and Pine, Sun., Nov. 22 or Wed., Nov. 25, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
