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:
