I used to oven roast a turkey and then several years ago my dad bought a nice smoker, and he took over smoking the turkey.

But my dad passed away three years ago, and I really haven't felt like dealing with preparing a turkey myself, so I tried a couple of places, and didn't really like the taste as much.

Tried Whole Foods, and Alexanders Highland Market, and they do a decent job but just not great,
I think you guys probably do the turkey for your household since men in Louisiana, unlike most places I found, really know how cook and take pride in it.

Don't suggest my hubby fry a turkey, he's not from LA and is the type of guy that would burn the garage down trying it.

So any help, where I can buy a Smoked or Fried turkey this year?

what I used to do was, buy a Turkey, bring it to Finn McCools and have them fry it while I drank beer and ate burgers.
Though not sure if they are still doing it, so what I used to do was buy a fried Turkey from Copelands for $30.

I LOVE Greenberg smoked turkeys. Highly recommend those if you want to order, but place your order soon because they're awfully busy right at that time. It's worth it.

If you're in BR, maybe Bergeron's in Lobdell is smoking them.

We are getting these for our luncheon at work. We had them last year and would highly recommend.

Too bad I'm not close enough to fry it for you.
I hope you find what you're looking for though.

Wayne Jacobs in Laplace has the best smoked turkeys I've tasted. They're $50 this year and you have to order early (by a few days).

I love Greenberg turkeys, but we're trying something different this year.

Killen's down in Pearland is smoking birds again for Thanksgiving. I'm expecting greatness if it's anything like the turkey he sells by the pound in the restaurant.

Drive down to Houma and buy a smoked turkey from Big Mikes. It's worth the drive.
