Turkeys
This year, the Co-op will have both fresh and frozen Ferndale Market Turkeys. Ferndale turkeys are raised without the use of antibiotics or artificial growth promotants, and are free-range during the warmer months at the family farm in Canyon Falls, Minnesota. They’re naturally processed, without additives. The Co-op also has frozen Larry Schultz Organic Turkeys available. Larry Schultz turkeys are fed with certified organic feed, and meet both the Global Organic Alliance and USDA guidelines and certifications for organic farming. Each of these options will be available in weights ranging from 10-24 pounds.
Turkey Tips/FAQ
How much turkey should I purchase?
Generally, 1-1.5 pounds of uncooked bird per person is a good amount.
How long should I cook my bird?
What you really want to look for is an instant read thermometer temping the thigh at 180 degrees and breast or stuffing at 160 degrees. The following chart is a great reference guide for an oven set at 350 degrees.
| Weight of Turkey | Roasting Time (Unstuffed) | Roasting Time (Stuffed) |
| 10-18 pounds | 3-3.5 hours | 3.75-4.5 hours |
| 18-22 pounds | 3.5-4 hours | 4.5-5 hours |
| 22-24 pounds | 4-4.5 hours | 5-5.5 hours |
| 24-29 pounds | 4.5-5 hours | 5.5-6.25 hours |
