I'm sure I've seen turkey breast at The Aussie Butcher.

Pack n Save have it regularly. If its something you buy regularly then why not ask the butcher of your local supermarket to stock some or have it bought in just for you.

Don't think there is much wrong with our 'country' at all.Probably because here we normally only have turkey at Christmas time.As other OP says, just ask your local butcher and sure they may be able to source for you.

I found out from a butcher that it is particularly hard to get hold of at the moment.I'll be patient and wait.Til then it will have to be chicken.

And Countdown too, in fact Turkey breast is all over the place. Now try finding turkey limbs for something harder.although it is possible, poultry specialist shops, and so on.

I have to agree you do not see it around as much these days.When I lived in London I bought turkey over chicken.If someone can confirm 100% where it is in Auckland.I'll eat my hat. oops Turkey!

Turkeys are in their best condition about June. During spring and early summer they have been egg sitting then child minding and get quite scrawny.I do not know about commercially bred ones but it could explain the shortage now.

Even our little Pak'n'Save here have turkey breasts. So not sure where you are looking!
Also there was disease outbreak last year in our turkey manufacturing factories here in NZ, the birds were kept a bit too close and dirty and no doubt fattened on GE corn and soybeans . it was in the news at the time and discussed here too. So that is why the turkeys have not been so plentiful last Xmas and sometimes not everyone has them.
Personally I would rather cook grass fed beef or mutton than those poor creatures.

Lovely to eat :) Tastes like a cross between a chicken and a lobster/crayfish.

Unlike alligator, which in my one experience of it was more like a cross between a mullet and an old pot scrub.
