How do I heat up fully cooked items, like the whole smoked turkey?
Our smoked products are fully cooked so preparing them is quick and easy! Here are two great heating methods for heating up large items, like our whole smoked turkey: Using your crockpot: Place your crockpot on LOW and cover the bottom with water or broth. Carve your smoked turkey and place the pieces into the crockpot. Apply the lid and cook until warmed throughout (around 45 minutes). Using your stove: Fill the bottom of a broiler tray with water and place the broiler rack on top. Place your smoked turkey on the broiler try rack and tent securely with tin foil. Place the trayed smoked turkey in the middle of a 350° F oven and cook for about 1.5 - 2 hours (or until a meat thermometer reaches about 140° F in the center of the breast). Remove the turkey and carve for serving. Enjoy!

What does “deep chill fresh” mean?
Our fresh Thanksgiving turkeys have never been frozen, but we keep them at a "deep chill" temperature (right at 32° F) so that they stay fresh for your holiday meal. Because of this, a small ice shell may form, but it will disappear quickly once you put it in your home fridge.
What does “uncured” mean?
"Uncured" is a USDA-regulated term that means no artificial nitrates or nitrites were used. We use ingredients like celery powder to naturally cure our smoked products.
What does “naturally processed” mean?
"Naturally processed" means that products contain no additives, basting solutions, or preservatives. We are proud of how our turkey tastes so we don't mask it with fillers!
