Thanksgiving.

My Argentine friend wants to cook a Thanksgiving dinner for her North American boyfriend and she's stumped. I'm gathering recipes in castellano for her, but does anyone that happens to live in Zona Norte know where turkeys are sold? Thanks in advance for the advice.

We ordered one from the poultry guy in the Belgrano market one year. That's about as north as I know. Turkeys aren't uncommon if you order it now one of the local butchers can probably source it by next week.

Carrefour carries them year round.

Pavita Frozen SADIA brand found in supermarkets the whole bird. or mercado libre Granja Dos Cuñados

We've used these guys a few times for organic turkeys, huge in size, comes frozen. They haven't yet disappointed.

I just see they now have Sadia pavita at Jumbo 79.99$ a kilo

The Sadia Pavitas are good. A little small at 5-6 kilos. They are imported from Brasil. just a little pricy though , as Nikad points out . My local Granja's laugh when I ask for pavito.........

The Brazilian turkeys are supposedly very salty, I would try to get one from Cordoba instead.

Well, a happy Thanksgiving to all BAexpats !

Turkey dinner in American thanksgiving tradition. I always get invited to join one of my friends homes for Turkey dinner.
But last year did not go to none.! The bird is way too big for only one person. So I did the roast beef. Went to Costco
and the meat section was full of US$80~$100 piece of meats...Perhaps will do the same this year too ! And after, hit their houses
for warming drinks.....
