This Summer's Turkey Shortage Could Impact Thanksgiving, but We Found In-Stock Birds You'll Want to Order Now

We're only two weeks into October, but let's be honest, we're already thinking about Thanksgiving. As we start to prepare for our favorite feast of the year, we're glad we took advantage of some of the best cookware deals during Amazon's most recent sale so our homemade cranberry sauce, cornbread stuffing, and Brussels sprouts with bacon can truly shine.

The centerpiece, of course, will be a juicy, golden turkey — if we're lucky. Over the summer, there was a big turkey shortage thanks to a spell of bird flu, and that widespread decline in available birds has Thanksgiving hosts all over the world getting a big jump start on their ordering. Lucky for us, D'Artagnan, one of the best and most trusted meat purveyors, just restocked all of its turkeys so you can pre-order now and enjoy stress-free holiday meal prep later.

One shopper said the turkey is full of "really great flavor" and that it lacks the telltale artificial flavor associated with grocery store birds. Another added that, "quite simply, their turkey was moist, tender, and tasty" and that they "couldn't ask for more!" And a third shopper shared that, in 45 years of cooking Thanksgiving turkeys, this one was "by far the best turkey ever."
