I'm assuming you will be cooking them yourself. Yes? Did you try Hannam Supermarket or Costco? Either that or talk to someone in the military who would be willing to buy them for you from their commisary. Also, a few weeks ago someone posted on here about good German meats and there was a company that had a lot of party meat. I could of swore they also had turkey. They have a website.

i COULD cook them myself, but my friend bought a couple last year that were pre-cooked.....that was the company whcich couldn't get them this year.....

pre-cooked would be a million times better because the oven we're using is quite small

Ok, nix the idea of going to Hannam Market. I was just there yesterday and the only 2 birds left were 104,000 won and definitely too large for you.

How about doing a ducken?

I have yet to see ovens in Korea large enough to accommodate a large-sized turkey. But then again, I have yet to see what a frozen turkey looks like in Korea. They are maybe a little smaller?

If you know someone from one the US bases you can get them pre-cooked with a whole range of vegies, gravy and cranberry sauce for 85,000 won ready to pick up on Christmas day.

I have two ordered for myself and friends.

Can anyone confirm that COSTCO has turkeys? I'm planning a turkey dinner for Saturday night and will buy the Turkey tomorrow to thaw out all day.

Will be heading to the MokDong COSTCO - I assume they will be in the freezer section? can this be confirmed?

Costco (Yeongdeung Po - Gu Office) has them. I got one today. They're in the frozen meat section. Mine was 47,000W for an 8kg turkey. Quite decent, all things considered, I thought.

Merry Xmas

Yee Haw! hoping to get a 6kg one, but that's fine. Much cheaper than Hannam mart.

Not sure an 8kg will fit in my oven.
