Should I stuff my turkey?
We recommend caution when stuffing your holiday turkey. The density of the stuffing can cause the inside of the turkey to remain under-cooked while the outside becomes overdone and dries out. We suggest using the flavorful drippings from your cooked bird to season your stuffing before cooking it in a separate pan.
How do I brine a turkey?
The basic wet brine is one cup of coarse kosher salt or sea salt to one gallon of water, making enough to submerge the bird. We recommend not brining for longer than 12 hours. Herbs, fruits, and seasonings are all great additions to brines so be sure to customize to your tastes!
Are Ferndale Market turkeys brined or basted?
No, Ferndale Market turkeys are not brined or basted. They do not contain any added salt, water, or fillers of any kind so they are perfect to bring. We don’t add any competing flavors to your holiday traditions, just 100% turkey.
How long does it take to thaw a turkey?
We recommend thawing your turkey for at least 24 hours in the fridge for every 3 pounds of turkey.
How long does a fresh turkey keep in the fridge?
Fresh turkeys should be cooked by the Sunday following Thanksgiving. Alternatively, you can freeze them by Sunday.
What size of a turkey should I get for Thanksgiving?
We recommend 1 to 1.5 pounds per person (1.5 should ensure leftovers).
Do your whole turkeys include giblets?
Yes, each whole turkey includes a bag of giblets (including a heart, liver, and gizzard) and a neck, which you'll find in the neck cavity.
