HONOLULU, Hawaii (November 8, 2010) This year take on the holidays like a master chef with a little help from Whole Foods Market. Shoppers can stock up on all the ingredients to make their favorite holiday fixings with fresh, natural and local ingredients or let Whole Foods Market play sous chef and take advantage of an assortment of prepared a la carte items such as fresh pies, soups, mashed potatoes, green bean almondine, corn bread stuffing, roast vegetables, autumn puree and more. For those who want to leave the cooking to the experts, Whole Foods Market offers prepared turkey and vegetarian meal options, starting at just $10.99.
“For busy holiday shoppers Whole Foods Market is a convenient one-stop shop to grab everything from p?p? platters for a family get-together, great local gifts for family and friends and the bird for your Thanksgiving or Christmas meal,” said Natalie Aczon, Whole Foods Market Kahala’s marketing supervisor.
In addition to holiday meals, Whole Foods Market also carries an assortment of all-natural and organic free-range turkeys and is one of the only stores to carry turduckens — comprised of a partially de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, stuffed with a small de-boned chicken – made-to-order. Custom orders can be placed with Whole Foods Market’s meat department at (808) 738-0820.
“Our all-natural, organic and heirloom birds are extremely popular and sell out quickly so we encourage shoppers to purchase their bird in advance,” Aczon added.
