If there's one thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving (or any Thanksgiving), it's got to be turkey.
Thanksgiving is just around the corner (Thursday 28 November to be precise) and we’re serving up a feast of celebrations in Singapore for the occasion. There are buffets and set dinners filled to the brim with old favourites like mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and the ultimate bird of the season – turkey or, for those opting for a good old-fashioned home-cooked meal, we’ve got all the stores that are guaranteed to get those tummies rumbling! There’s also our guide to the best butchers to get your turkeys ordered if you’re throwing your own Thanksgiving with friends or family. Happy gobbling!
