Don't know if they are sold out or not, however the absolute best Turkey deal is at Jimmy's BBQ in Malvern. You buy a turkey, take it to Jimmy's, they smoke it and you pick up your smoked Turkey at 1pm on Thanksgiving day. Smoked turkey is incredibly moist and the taste will spoil you forever :) I don't work for Jimmy's nor do I know them, I'm just speaking from experience of eating smoked turkey fresh out of the smoker! One hint: loosen your belt before sitting down to this feast! Here's their website:

Ann....I assume you are kidding. Just in case you are not, the answer is 'no'. A properly smoked turkey is extremely moist and the meat melts in your mouth.

loved the Wegmans flyer last week that said you have to REHEAT the dinner items when you get it home, it comes cold---apparently customers complained they had to heat it up. Not only do they not want to cook, they don't want to reheat either! too funny- or sad depending on your point of view....

This will be our second year having Thanksgiving dinner prepared by County Butcher on Walnut Street in Kennett Square, PA. Everything from the turkey to your choice of pies is included. It's all tasty and wonderful including the "best stuffing ever" and the "best pies I've ever had."

The Black Cat Cafe in Devon, 500 yards from Whole Foods offers pies and side dishes that are homemade so your guests don't know you didn't make it. Nothing tastes commercial at all. Their quantities are limited so you should put your order in early though. 610-688-1930

As our family gathers for holiday celebrations we remember whose shoulders we now stand upon, in part, by the flavors in our mouths. Mom and Dad would be proud that the holiday specialties that they enjoyed are still on the table, enjoyed by the future generations. Food is love, tradition, and helps bind generations together forever.
