    It's once again that time of year. My favorite time of year to be a food blogger. Why? Because I get to spend the next several weeks talking turkey. What is not to love about that? Up first this season. One of my favorite things to do is share the prices and selection of turkeys in stores across the country. I love seeing what's going on from coast to coast and sharing that information with you - the blog reader. This season we are going to kick it off with a nationwide look at what Whole Foods Market is offering up in the way of turkeys this season.

    Why Buy a Turkey at Whole Foods
    If you are looking for more than just the cheapest, frozen bird you can find, if you want something organic, or fresh range or one of those really cool heritage birds you may have heard about on TV, then Whole Foods may be the place for you. Each store has a holiday order table, where you can pre-order your Thanksgiving bird and pick it up when you are ready.

    Location and Choices Vary
    As it is often in life, it is all about location, location, location. The selection varies based on what region your store is in. Whole Foods is divided into 11 U.S. regions. Some regions have a much larger selection than others. If I had the choice I wish I could have the selection in the western regions. Here is a link to a pdf file showing you how the company is divided up. The selection and price should be very similar within a region, although you will see some "value stores" where prices are lower (the Detroit, Michigan store is usually one of those stores for example). Checking with your local store will give you the best information.

    Standards
    All turkeys sold at Whole Foods have to meet these following standards:

    1. 5-Step® Animal Welfare rated
    2. No antibiotics
    3. No animal by-products in their feed
    4. No Added solutions or injections
    5. No added growth hormones

    Organic
    Whole Foods sells organic turkey but not all of their turkeys are organic, so make sure you look for the word "organic" if that is what you want. To learn more about organic turkeys, check out my post What is an Organic Turkey?

    My Recommendations
    Diestel turkeys available in regions 2,3, 5, or 11 (western regions) are highly recommended. Check out my post on 9 reasons to buy a Diestel Turkey. If you live on the east coast, I recommend Jaindl turkeys, who raise a turkey breed unique to their farms with more edible meat per pound. Their turkeys may be found under the Whole Foods Market label but it should read on the packaging "Grown and processed by Jaindl Family Farms". Check my post on Why You Should Buy a Janidl turkey. You will find a link to a map of what Whole Foods locations carry Jaindl turkeys.
