About Our Turkey
Turkey is the bird for an occasion - Christmas, a big family gathering, any table where one roast has to feed a room. It is larger and leaner than chicken, with a mild flavour and a lot of breast meat, and we bring it in to order so you get it fresh for the day you need it. Give us a few days' notice and tell us the weight you want.
We will prepare it whole for roasting, spatchcocked to cook faster and more evenly, or jointed into pieces. Because it is lean, the one thing to get right is not drying the breast - a brine and a careful eye on the timing make all the difference. For a smaller centrepiece, our capon or kienyeji chicken are the ones to look at.
How to Cook Turkey
- Brine overnight if you can - it is the single best guard against a dry breast.
- Roast covered for most of the time, then uncover to brown the skin.
- Spatchcock it to cut the cooking time and get the breast and legs finishing together.
- Rest it a good 20-30 minutes before carving - it is a big bird.
- Use a probe: the thigh should read 74C. Keep the carcass for stock.

Walk in any day - Monday to Saturday 6:30am - 7:00pm, Sunday 9:00am - 5:00pm - and buy it over the counter, or order here and we will deliver it chilled.

Turkey: Questions
Turkey is KSh 1,250 per kg. Because it is cut to order, we weigh it after cutting and confirm the exact total with you before anything is dispatched. Prices at the counter and online are the same.
Yes, and at no extra charge - it is the whole point of buying from a butcher rather than a chiller cabinet. Tell us the thickness, trim, portion size or preparation you want in the notes when you order, or just describe what you are cooking and let us choose. We butcher whole carcasses at City Market, so the options are real.
Yes, every day. Order before 4:00pm on 0707 700511 for same-day chilled delivery across Nairobi. Delivery is a flat fee by area, from KSh 300 to KSh 1,000 depending on where you are, and it is added to your basket total automatically. See the full fee table.
Three to four days in the coldest part of the fridge, loosely covered so the surface dries rather than sweats. To freeze, portion into meal sizes, press flat, wrap tightly and label. Thaw overnight in the fridge, never on the counter, and do not refreeze thawed raw meat.
At our stall: City Market, Ground Floor, Stall 55 Muindi Mbingu St, Nairobi, beside Jamia Mosque in the Nairobi CBD, open every day 6:30am to 7:00pm Monday to Saturday, and 9:00am to 5:00pm on Sundays. You can also order it online here, on WhatsApp, or by calling 0707 700511. See the rest of the poultry section or the full counter.
