I usually just order one at Safeway. My Safeway anyway makes sure they're not frozen at all when you pick them up. Even though they are fresh they are refrigerated really cold and they can sometimes get a little icy inside and that can really mess up your cook time. So it's worth asking about. Oh also trader joes has really good brined turkeys that are fresh. They go fast. I think you can order them though so they hold one for you.
