Older listings and alternatives
- Georgie Dallas: Its 2025 menu listed a $325 feast for four with a 12-pound whole smoked-and-fried turkey. That prior-year listing does not establish current inventory. See Georgie’s menu.
- Nate’s Seafood & Steakhouse — Addison: A 2016 CBS Texas report said it sold a 14-pound fried turkey year-round with 24 hours’ notice. Because that report is a decade old, call directly rather than assuming the offer remains. Read the CBS Texas report.
- Dos Lobos Ranch: This is a cook-at-home alternative, not a prepared fried turkey. It offers seasonal pasture-raised raw whole turkeys in North Texas; reservation timing depends on flock, processing, pricing, and fulfillment arrangements. Check seasonal turkey details.
What to confirm before you order
Holiday menus can change, and a listed item does not necessarily mean orders are open. Before paying, verify the current price and availability, pickup city and date, whether the bird is whole or part of a meal, its weight and stated servings, what sides are included, and whether pickup is hot or chilled for reheating. Ask about the preorder cutoff and required notice, and get pickup timing confirmed. Dodie’s has the most complete currently listed details among these options; the other menus above are dated or marked out of stock.
