Well, I did find a store that had turkeys for Thanksgiving and will for
Christmas. (A funny little place called The Box Store.  You walk in and they
hand you a cardboard box to put your items in!)  But I don't know where to
find turkey the rest of the year.  And, frankly, buying a whole turkey for
600NT when you can't possible eat the whole thing before it spoils (or
before its running out your ears) is a bit wasteful.  AND I can only cook a
quarter of it at a time -- tiny oven.  I wanna be able to grab some turkey
lunch meat or a turkey breast. *minor pout*
