It turns out when you raise animals well -- they simply taste better. Our kosher pastured turkeys are leaner than conventional birds, and also more moist. They cook much more quickly too. Raised in small batches by a network of dedicated Amish and Mennonite growers, the birds are moved to fresh pasture daily where they roam and forage freely. They are fed exclusively GMO-free grain, never any hormones, antibiotics or animal by-products. Be sure to check out our "What to know about Kosher Pastured Turkey" in the "Description" tab below. Neck and giblets are sold separately and not included. *Price per pound is an estimate for comparison purposes only. Click on the "Details" tab to learn more.

About this product
It turns out when you raise animals well -- they simply taste better. All of our meats at Grow & Behold are raised in the US on pasture, without hormones or antibiotics, and turkey is one meat where you can really really taste the different. These whole turkeys are leaner than conventional birds, and also more moist. They cook much more quickly too. Raised in small batches by a network of dedicated Amish and Mennonite growers, our turkey are moved to fresh pasture daily where they roam and forage freely. They are fed exclusively GMO-free grain, never any hormones, antibiotics or animal by-products.
Neck and giblets are sold separately and not included.
Basic Cooking Technique
Roast at 325F, or smoke. Allow 12-15 min per pound and use a meat thermometer -- the flesh may still look "pink" but if the temperature is 165F and juices run clear, your bird is cooked. You may need to remove dark meat and roast for a little longer, or cover breast meat so it doesn't dry out while dark meat finishes cooking.

There were NO leftovers
I’ve bought other kosher turkeys from grocery stores in the past for Thanksgiving and they’ve been good - actually alright. After a couple of days of leftovers, I really wasn’t really in the mood for turkey for another year. But this year, with this turkey from Grow and Behold, there were absolutely no leftovers. With 14 people at our house for Thanksgiving and close to a 17 pound bird, there were absolutely NO leftovers. I cooked it with the same recipe I always do. I’m torn between being flattered and angry.

Turkey
Turkey arrived well packed with dry ice in large clean styrofoam container. The turkey was well cleaned and fresh upon unwrapping. There were few feathers to remove before roasting. I called customer service with a few cooking questions and was immediately connected to an associate who undertood my questions and was familiar with the product. The call was place the day before Thanksgiving and we were delighted that Grow and Behold was there for our premier turkey roasting experience. The turkey was delicious and we look forward to ordering a turkey again and trying more of Grow and Behold's products.

Better plucking, please, otherwise happy
We were satisfied with the quality of the meat itself, which had a good taste and texture. However, the bird was not very thoroughly plucked — there were a surprising many feather stubs, quite conspicuous, on the roast, which took us some time to remove before roasting. Please review your cleaning and processing methods to offer your turkeys both oven-ready and pleasing to the eye. Thank you.
How Many Pieces Will I Receive?
Our frozen meats are packaged in vacuum-sealed packages. Most packages contain one piece (ie, one Brisket). Some packages will contain two pieces (ie, Lamb Chops). Packages of smaller items, such as Chicken Wings or Pepper Steak, will contain multiple pieces.
For red meat items and multi-pack poultry items, vacuum-sealed packages may be packed in a cardboard box. If there is an option to choose how many packages you'd like in the box, you'll make that selection under "Customize Your Order." Then you'll choose your preferred weight (that is, the combined weight of all the the packages in that box.) If only one choice is showing in a green box, you do not need to make any selection.
Example: Lamb Chops
Let's say you're ordering Lamb Chops and you select the following:
You've chosen: 2 packages, ~1.1 lb, and the price shows $39.99.
You’ll receive 1 box, with 2 packages of lamb chops inside.
Each package will contain 2 lamb chops. You’ll have 4 lamb chops in total. We always try to pack similar-sized items, but you may find that some chops are slightly larger and some are slightly smaller.
How Much Does It Weigh?
We use weight ranges in order to keep our fulfillment system practical and manageable for items with variable weights (for example steaks. Packages of deli meats which are not sold by weight range as we can pack them by exact weight). The ranges are as small as practically possible to minimize the variation between the Selected Weight and the actual weght you receive. Because of this, if the price per pound is shown as "price/lb*", the *" indicates that it is an estimate for comparison purposes only, since the price associated with the selected weight is the price for all items within that weight range.
This chart shows the potential weight variance for selected weights on our site:
| Selected Weight | Potential Weight Variance |
|---|---|
| under ~0.95 lb | +/- 0.15 lb |
| ~1 lb to ~3.9 lb | +/- 0.25 lb |
| ~4 lb to ~10 lb | +/- 0.5 lb | over ~10 lb | +/- 1 lb |
For example:
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~1.5 lb could weigh as much as 1.75 lb or as little as 1.25 lb
- An item with a Selected Weight of ~5 lb could weigh as much as 5.5 lb or as little as 4.5 lb
We keep the ranges as small as practically possible to minimize the variation you might receive. Sometimes you will receive a bit more than the listed weight, and sometimes a bit less. Our customers find that on average they receive what they are expecting. But if you find that your actual weights in an order are all below the listed average, please snap a picture of the weight labels and send it over to us, and we'll be happy to make things right.
