Default Looking for a butcher
I'm looking for a butcher who can supply turkey meat - and not just at this time of year. I need someone who can give us turkey breast - ground turkey is easy to find.

Basically my wife is allergic to chicken so we are finding we are eating way too much red meat. If we can find someone that can supply turkey it gives us an alternative to beef/pork/fish.

Anyone know a good butcher that can do this?

Bon Ton Meat Market was a place I often went to when I lived in Calgary - good quality and reasonable prices; don't know if they can help you with the turkey

We used Second To None Butchers a couple of years ago at Thanksgiving. I know the owner a little bit. The turkey was fantastic.

I'm pretty sure one of the butchers at Crossroads Market has turkey breast, Regina's I think is the one.

They sell turkey boobies at the Sobeys I go to. It's actually cheaper than chicken boobies.

There's a butcher up by the Airdrie Blockbuster on Main Street... if you want to go for a drive. Haven't used them yet... but will one day.

I'm a fan of Rocky's Sausage Haus, a Ukrainian place on 4th Street NE. The folks there have a huge variety of products, will get just about anything you want, how you want it, and are pretty friendly.

If you live in the North, I can't recommend Master Meats enough. All their products are sourced locally, the staff is very knowledgeable and the cuts are excellent.

They are located at Centre St and 38th Ave I think it is...right by Tim Horton's and the Centre St Church.

Master Meats gets my vote as well. The staff are really friendly and very knowledgeable.
