Everything on our Thanksgiving menu arrives fully cooked and ready to reheat and serve, EXCEPT for our fresh raw turkeys__.
- Fully Cooked (Reheat & Serve): Composed Thanksgiving Meals, A La Carte Sides, Prepared Turkeys, and Pies are all fully cooked and arrive in oven-safe containers. Our chefs roast the turkeys in-house almost all the way through, so when you follow the included reheating instructions, your turkey turns out perfectly cooked and ready to serve!
- Uncooked (Requires Cooking): Fresh Raw Turkeys arrive uncooked and ready for you to roast from scratch in your own oven.
Nope! None of our turkeys arrive frozen. They arrive deep chilled to preserve their freshness in transit from the farms, and by the time you receive your turkey, it will be brought to a temperature that’s ready to be cooked.
Our chefs recommend cooking for about 18 minutes per pound.
For brining your bird, our chefs recommend a ratio of 1 gallon of water to 1 cup of salt and ½ cup of brown sugar. You can also add spices and herbs to flavor as you like. Let the turkey brine overnight (24 hours). If you’re brining your turkey, we advise you to take it out of the brine the day before you cook it and allow it to dry out in the fridge. This will help crisp the skin.
Willie Bird Ranch
Willie Bird Ranch has been operating in Sonoma County, CA since 1948. Their free-range turkeys are raised on organic grains and are certified to be free of artificial pesticides and chemicals.
Branigan's Turkey Farm
Branigan's Turkey Farm is a third generation family farm, established in Woodland, CA in 1942. Their turkeys are raised 6-8 weeks longer than other turkeys, making for a meatier and more flavorful turkey.
Good Shepherd Ranch
Good Shepherd Poultry Ranch was started by Frank Reese who is the fourth generation poultry farmer in his Kansas family. Maintaining traditional farming practices where turkeys roam freely, mate naturally, get plenty of exercise and graze on the range provides a slower growing process that creates a more flavorful and meaty turkey.
About a pound and a half of raw meat will give you a good amount of cooked meat per person (plus leftovers!)
