Here we are just a few days before the big holiday, your shopping list in hand, you’re heading to the market. But what kind of turkey to buy? There are so many sorts of turkeys to choose from that it can be confusing. Here are a few tips to help you make a selection for your Thanksgiving feast:
Fresh Turkey: A turkey may be labeled “fresh” only if it has never been chilled below 26°F. Check the “use by” or “sell by” date and bring it straight from the store to the refrigerator.
Frozen Turkey: A “frozen” turkey is actually fresher than a “fresh” turkey; it has been flash frozen immediately after being butchered. A turkey can be kept frozen in the freezer up to one year.
Hard-chilled or not previously frozen Turkey: A turkey that has been chilled below 26°F, but not below 0°F. Usually, this turkey is labeled not “fresh” nor “frozen” and may be labeled as “not previously frozen.”
Basted or Self-Basting Turkey: An over-processed turkey which has been injected with water and chemicals (food additives) to add flavor and about 15% weight.
Organic Turkey: This refers only to feed certification, genetic engineering, and use of ionizing radiation but not to quality. All high-quality turkeys are free of added hormones and antibiotics.
USDA Certified Organic Turkey: A turkey fed without pesticides, chemicals fertilizers, GMOs or synthetic ingredients – including antibiotics.
Non-GMO Turkey: A turkey raised without GMO food.
Vegetarian-Fed Turkey: A turkey fed on a vegetarian diet.
Cage-Free Turkey: A turkey allowed out of the cage for 51% of the time. However, no specifics about the remaining 49% of the time or of the space.
Free-Range Turkey: Don’t be confused since this only means a turkey not confined to a cage and sometimes only let out for very short periods of time.
Pastured Turkey: A turkey raised without cage on grass and insects.
Day-Range Turkey: A turkey pastured during the day, and in a cage at night.
Kosher Turkey: A turkey grain-fed with no antibiotics and slaughtered according to Kosher law including soaking in salt brine.
Natural Turkey: A turkey containing no artificial ingredient or added color. However, it doesn’t refer to the way the turkey was raised and fed.
Hen or Tom Turkey: A hen turkey is a female bird (8-16 lbs). A tom turkey is a male (18 -32 lbs).
Young Turkey: A male or female turkey less than 8 months old.
The turkey is cooked in an oven at 325°F and when the temperature inside the thighs reaches 165°F .
Turkey weight Hours (non-stuffed) Hours (Stuffed)
12-14 lbs 3 – 3¾ 3½ – 4
14-18 lbs 3¾ – 4¼ 4 – 4¼
18-20 lbs 4¼ – 4½ 4¼ – 4¾
20-24 lbs 4½ – 5 4¾ – 5¼
Enjoy cooking, sharing, celebrating and let’s not take what we have for granted – but with gratitude!
Happy Thanksgiving to All!
