The answer is no, especially if you want a smoked turkey. (Smoke it, I don’t even know how to light it). Here is the deal, if you have not tried a genuine smoked turkey, you have missed out on something extraordinary.
A few years ago, I got one at Costco and it was good, but I thought there must be local venders that smoke them on site and offer a better value.
There are several places where you can get a smoked turkey and we are going to check out a few thanks to yelp.com.

In his Yelp Review David H. San Francisco, CA said, “First time. Quality meats can be seen from the moment you walk in. Service was awesome. Super friendly and very informative. Ambiance is like your ol' school butcher market. Smoker in house, quality clean meats, friendly staff ... what more can you ask for?” 

 All the locations listed are rated 5 stars on Yelp.com. Now let's get to my favorite.

Owen’s Meats is the place in Central Washington for fresh and smoked meats. If you want a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving, you need to get your order in starting at around late October to early November. The price of meat can change from week to week so I can’t give you an idea of the cost. In my opinion Owens Meats is the best, so they got my 5-star rating.
