There are many great options for finding a turkey. When it comes to deep frying the turkey, you're going to have a great final product regardless. We just wanted to point out that there are turkey farms around the nation where you can go and pick out your turkey. The advantage is that it always fun for the kids, it doesn't get any fresher and you are definitely supporting the local economy. In school, turkeys are drawn and made in art class. It's right after halloween and the next big holiday is Thanksgiving. Finding that local turkey farm could be a really fun annual trip for your family.

If there aren't local turkey farms in your area, the options to by turkey are plentiful. There are online stores, local grocery stores and super stores that almost always have whole turkeys available. If they don't have fresh available, the frozen turns out great as well in the deep fryer...  just make sure it's thawed before frying!

Turkey farms are very popular in the North East but they are scattered around the nation as well. Turkey farms are just one idea to make picking out the turkey an extra special event.
