Nitrate-Free Smoked Whole Turkey

7-10 lb, serves 5-8. Arrives frozen. To thaw, remove from the freezer and place in the refrigerator for 48 hours.

Nobody smokes a turkey like the experts at the famous Willie Bird Ranch in Santa Rosa, Northern California, where the free-range birds are raised on the tastiest, healthiest natural grains. Entirely free of preservatives, this whole, bone-in turkey is rubbed with a brown-sugar cure and spiked with garlic, then slow-smoked to succulent perfection. The mild, moist meat has a spectacular smoky flavor and is delicious hot or cold.

Pro Tip: Roast at 375°F for 10–15 minutes per pound (if stuffed, add 30 minutes). Temperature check can be done in the deepest part of the breast.
Remove from oven and place on warm platter, then allow 15 minutes to finish cooking with tin foil cover still on, then serve.

Ingredients: Turkey, water, salt, brown sugar
