Cooper's Whole Turkey - 10 lb
Cooper's Turkey is one whole bird from us at Nelson Grass Farm. It comes to you frozen, so you can keep it in the freezer until the day you plan to cook.
- One whole turkey: breasts, legs, thighs and wings all on the bird
- Most of our turkeys include giblets, but not every bird does
Give yourself time to thaw it. The safest way is in the refrigerator, in its wrapping on a tray, allowing about 24 hours for every 4 to 5 pounds of bird. Once it's thawed, check the cavity for the giblets and take it out before cooking.
Roast it whole and cook it until the thickest part of the thigh and the breast both reach 165°F on a meat thermometer. Let it rest about 20 to 30 minutes before carving. If your bird came with giblets, they make a good start for gravy or stock.
Common Questions
How do I thaw a frozen whole turkey safely?
Cooper's Turkey from Nelson Grass Farm is a whole turkey sold frozen, so it needs a planned thaw before cooking. The most reliable method is the refrigerator: allow about 24 hours for every 4 to 5 pounds of bird, and set it on a tray to catch any drips. If you're short on time, you can thaw it in its wrapping submerged in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes and allowing about 30 minutes per pound. Avoid thawing on the counter at room temperature, because the outside warms into the unsafe zone long before the center thaws. A turkey thawed in cold water should be cooked right away, while a fridge-thawed bird can wait another day or two in the refrigerator.
Should I buy a whole turkey or a turkey breast for a holiday dinner?
If you want both white and dark meat, drumsticks for the table and a carcass for stock, a whole turkey like Cooper's Turkey is the better choice. A breast cooks faster and suits a small group that only eats white meat, but it gives you no legs, thighs or wings. When planning a whole bird, a common rule of thumb is about 1 to 1.5 pounds of whole turkey per guest, more if you want leftovers. A whole bird also usually comes with giblets for gravy, which most of our turkeys include.
Is Cooper's Turkey a whole turkey or a turkey breast?
Cooper's Turkey is one whole turkey from Nelson Grass Farm. You get the complete bird, so you can roast it whole, spatchcock it, or break it down into breasts, legs, thighs and wings yourself.
Does Cooper's Turkey come with giblets?
Yes, Cooper's Turkeys include giblets. When a turkey has them, they're usually packed in a small bag tucked inside the body cavity or the neck cavity, so check both openings once the bird has thawed and before it goes in the oven. The neck and giblets are useful for making stock or gravy while the turkey roasts.
Is Cooper's Turkey sold frozen, and how should I store it?
Yes, Cooper's Turkey is a frozen product, so keep it in the freezer until you're ready to thaw it. At a steady 0°F a frozen turkey stays safe indefinitely, though it's at its best quality if cooked within about a year. Once it's thawed in the refrigerator, plan to cook it within one to two days.
