Where do you buy a fresh turkey?

I've been reading about brining and making a fresh turkey and I think I'd really like to try it this year but I have no idea where to buy a fresh turkey.  We live in Macomb county.  Thanks!

  • I think places like vince and joes have them. My mom always gets fresh and I think that is where she goes.

  • Mine is too far for you but just in case someone on the west side is looking: we get ours from Roperti's Turkey farm, 5 Mile between Levan & Farmington in Livonia.

  • You could call someplace like Nino Salvaggios, they probably would have them too...or a local butcher.

    I  have never personally gone to this place, but it might be a place to call:  https://www.yelp.com/biz/marcos-meat-and-deli-eastpointe

    Or Nitchie's (my mom has been going here for years):
    52175 Van *** Avenue
    Shelby Township, MI 48316-3529
    (586) 739-5500

    Oh my gosh.  Random story- So two years ago around Thanksgiving, I was having a lot of kidney issues so I was going back and forth to St. Mary's Hospital a lot... So before Thanksgiving I would always see all of the turkeys out and about passing by there... then literally the next week after Thanksgiving... NO turkeys.  :(  I am all about eating meat but it was still so sad!!!
