Thanksgiving is coming. Do you know where your turkey is?

Thanksgiving is still three weeks away, but guess what: If you want your first choice of a great specialty turkey, you’d better get your order in soon. The best birds fly off the shelves, particularly at the smaller butcher shops and markets. A couple of places we contacted were either already sold out or nearly there.

We’ll have more next week on what the various definitions mean and exactly who is growing what birds. But for right now, here’s a quick list of which stores are supplying which specialty turkeys. If I’ve missed somebody, let me know at russ.parsons@latimes.com.
