Common Questions
Where can I buy a whole turkey that is soy-free and corn-free?
Our North Star Bison Whole Turkey is soy and corn free, a 16 lb bird pasture raised on organic grasses. Most commercial turkeys are finished on corn and soybean meal, so anyone avoiding soy or corn has to look for a producer who states it outright. It's raised regeneratively, with no antibiotics and no fillers. Just purely raised meat. We sell it frozen.
What does 'no water added' mean on a turkey, and why does it matter?
On our North Star Bison Whole Turkey, 'no water added' means it's all meat: the bird isn't injected with water or a salt solution, so you get what you pay for. Many supermarket turkeys are 'enhanced' or 'basted' with a solution that can make up several percent of the weight you're charged for. A turkey with no added solution also leaves the seasoning up to you, so you can wet brine, dry brine or salt it without it turning overly salty.
What size whole turkey do I need to feed 10 to 12 people?
A 16 lb turkey like our North Star Bison Whole Turkey covers 10 to 12 people with room for leftovers. The usual rule is about 1 to 1.5 lbs of whole bird per person, since bones account for a good share of the weight. Leftovers make great soup, sandwiches and casseroles. For a different crowd size, we also offer our whole turkey in other weights from 12 lbs up to 21 lbs.
Does the North Star Bison Whole Turkey come with giblets?
No, our North Star Bison Whole Turkey is sold without giblets. There's no packet in the cavity to remove before you season or brine it. If you want gravy or stock, buy necks or backs separately, or use the roasted carcass for stock after the meal.
How long does it take to thaw a 16 lb North Star Bison turkey?
Our storing notes give 24 to 48 hours in the refrigerator for thawing the North Star Bison Whole Turkey. Check the thickest part, and if it's still firm, give it more time in the fridge. Keep it in its wrapping on a tray on the bottom shelf while it thaws.
How long can I keep the North Star Bison Whole Turkey in the freezer or refrigerator?
The North Star Bison Whole Turkey keeps up to 24 months in the freezer and 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator. It's sold and stored frozen, so you can buy it well ahead of a holiday and keep it in the freezer until you're ready to start thawing.
