Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away and I'd like to cook a turkey. Does anyone know when COSTCO stocks turkeys - I made one in November last year, but I'd actually like to do it on Thanksgiving Sunday this year if I can.

I was there 10 days ago and no turkeys.

Puzzled - Thanksgiving is three weeks away. Which Thanksgiving?

thanks for the link, but a 3.5 kg turkey?? That's about 7 pounds. Never seen a turkey much smaller than 11 pounds. Is this some sort of midget Korean turkey?

And 49 kobuks?

I think I'll have bagels and lox.

Yeah, that freaked me out for just a minute. I'm nowhere near planned enough for Thanksgiving in three weeks...

Canadian Thanksgiving is about a month away, maybe 6 weeks, I think that's what was meant.

Korean thanksgiving isn't the real thing. I actually wish I didn't have 5 days off.

Canadian Thanksgiving is the second Monday in October wikipedia - I thought it was the first, but I was wrong.

Last year I bought a turkey already cooked at the Lotte Department Grocery Store In Youngdungpo. It was very good and not too expensive.

A pre-cooked turkey from a Korean dept store....I can't believe it was "very good" Laughing

Back home we always have fresh filled turkeys...now, they are very good. Very Happy

yeah, doesn't seem very practical if you're single, but if a family or a bunch of people are going to be eating together, it's no major expense. if you all went out for thanksgiving dinner at a hotel here, it'd be a lot more per individual serving.

I contacted ezshopkorea.com and they can get a 5kg turkey for 73,000 won. They said the prices are higher this year because of bird flu.

I saw some at Hannam Market last weekend. They had two. They looked to be about 5-7 kgs.
