Where To Buy A Thanksgiving Turkey In Bensonhurst

Soon it will be that time of year, when we stuff ourselves silly, spend lots of time with family and friends, and then promptly sink into a three-day turkey coma.

That means it’s time to start shopping around for birds. While many of us used to rely on Waldbaums for those last-minute Thanksgiving prep, sadly the supermarket is closing for good tomorrow. So, to help make your holiday planning a little less stressful, we’ve rounded up a few local supermarkets in our area that are carrying a wide selection of frozen, fresh, and precooked turkeys at unbeatable prices.
