Karl Slater, who runs Tony Neary Butchers, says he is trying to find alternatives for customers.
Mr Slater, who runs Tony Neary Butchers in York's Clifton area, has appealed to customers who had ordered birds to contact him
Mr Slater said: "Last week our turkey suppliers have had a case of avian flu, so anyone that's ordered a turkey with us needs to get in touch as soon as possible so I can get them an alternative." He said he had spent "six hours on the phone trying to find like-for-like replacements" but found that "everyone had already pre-ordered".
Mr Slater said his customers had been "really supportive because there's nothing I can do, it's out of my hands". "The supplier has a separate chicken farm and they got it a few months ago, so there was quite a high risk his turkey's would get it as well," he added.
