Where To Get Your Turkey This Thanksgiving In Ditmas Park

Who’s excited to get together with the family in a few weeks, pull on your collective elastic waistband pants, eat until it hurts, and be completely useless for at least six hours after? We know we are! To try and make the meal a little easier on you, we’ve rounded up a list of local places to order that traditional centerpiece of the Thanksgiving meal: the turkey.

Unless otherwise noted, it is best to order your bird in-store at the businesses below. If you have another go-to place for turkey pickup or a favorite locally-sourced veggie option, give us a shout, too.

• Flatbush Food Co-op (1415 Cortelyou Road between Rugby and Marlborough Roads): Choose a Bell & Evans, Grateful Harvest, Eberly, or Wise Organic Pastures turkey by calling 718-284-9717 or ordering in-store.

• Cortelyou Greenmarket (Cortelyou Road between Argyle and Rugby Roads): Order from Di Paola Turkey Farm at 609-587-9311 or dipaolaturkey@gmail.com and pick up at the Greenmarket on Sunday, November 24.

• Downtown Natural (1701 Church Avenue on the corner of E 17th Street)

• Meat Palace Supreme (1811 Church Avenue between E 18th and E 19th Streets)

• Met Foods  (1610 Cortelyou Road between E 16th and E 17th Streets)

• R & R Meat Market (1624 Cortelyou Road between E 16th and E 17th Streets)

Alternatively, if you decide you’d rather leave the cooking to someone else, then make a reservation at The Dogwood–and consider donating to CAMBA’s 500 Turkeys for 500 Families campaign while you’re at it.
