Cooking Times for Turkey
 Here’s
a quick and helpful turkey cooking chart. Don’t forget
to stop in to Aubrey’s Meats, 59 York Street, for your
locally farm raised free run turkeys that have been naturally
fed and have zero chemicals. The turkeys are air chilled as
opposed to water chilled. This makes for a more flavourful
and colourful turkey.
Also, Sasloves Meat Market located at 50 ByWard Market offers
local free range turkeys that are antibiotic and hormone free.
You can also find alternatives such as Cornish hens and Canadian
Rack of lamb and leg of lamb.
Sausage Kitchen, located at 5 ByWard Market offers a different
service. Bring in your own turkey, or purchase one and have
it smoked for a truly different taste. They also offer this
service for your ham! Simply bring in your turkey 2-3 days
in advance unfrozen and Master Sausage Maker Jacek will smoke
it to perfection!
