Where to Buy a Fresh Holiday Turkey in Maine.

I just ordered my fresh Thanksgiving turkey from Smaha's Legion Square Market on Ocean Street in South Portland. Smaha's is a neighborhood butcher in Knightville, and I've bought a bird from them for the last 3 years. I like that my turkey is fresh and that I'm supporting a local farmer. I also can't stand the gross process of thawing out a frozen bird!

Here are some more places to get a fresh turkey for your table and tummy:

• Alewive's Brook Farm 83 Ocean House Rd,. Cape Elizabeth 799-7743
• The Farm Stand 161 Ocean St., South Portland 805-1481
• Rosemont Market 580 Brighton Ave., Portland 774-8129
• Sanford Butcher Shop 578 Lebanon St., Sanford 432-0858
• Smaha's Legion Square Market
• Valley View Farm Sopers Mill Rd., Auburn 320-1969

If you want a fresh turkey you better put a wiggle in it, I called a huge list of farms and many are already sold out!

There's no wish bone in a Thanksgiving lasagna.
