Thanksgiving is almost here and for those who’ve got the culinary skills to put their friends and family into food comas, here are our recommendations for where you can get decent turkeys for the big day.
If you’re the kind of family who prefers to only enjoy the eating part of the holiday without spending any time in the kitchen, fret not, we’ll be publishing our lists of Thanksgiving feasts in Beijing throughout the month. Check out Part 1 of our picks here.

Every person who
likes to dabble in the kitchen should visit this place. Sanyuanli Market
is where you can find the rare ingredients needed to cook that special
dish from home and source specific cuts. It’s where many Western
restaurants go for their ingredients and a beloved gem for amateur chefs
all over the city. Each stall sells its own specialty, and most are not
the shrink-wrapped stuff you find in supermarkets. Here, you can find
fresh cuts from the butcher. And from what I’ve discovered over the
years, if you don’t see what you’re looking for, don’t hesitate to ask.
At Sanyuanli, I was able to purchase turkey even in the middle of summer.
The less common stuff is usually kept in the freezer, and even if they
don’t have it there right that second, they can add you on WeChat and
source it for you.
Find it:
Shunyuan Jie (opposite Jingkelong Supermarket, west of Sanyuan Dongqiao), Chaoyang District
朝阳区顺源街（三元东桥往西京客隆超市对面）
Open: Daily 5am-7pm
Schindler’s Food Center
Schindler's
has great products all year round and around Thanksgiving they add
Chinese turkey to their list of meats. The price is RMB 78/kg and
they’ve got birds ranging from 6-8kg depending on what you’re looking
for.
Find it:
1st Floor, Bindu Garden, 15 Zaoying Beili, Nongzhanguan Beilu, Chaoyang District
朝阳区农展馆北路枣营北里15号宾都苑1层
Open 8.30am-7pm
Like with pretty
much everything in China, you can order your turkey online. Every online
shopping platform has it, but personally, when it comes to raw meats, I
prefer JD.com. This seller we found on JD has sold more than 2,000+
units of turkey and offers a free shipping and return policy. They’ve
got a 4.7/5 star rating as a seller and 200+ customer reviews all giving
their product 5 stars.
To check out their store, copy and paste this link below into your JD.com app.
