Our selection of Trader Joe’s Whole Turkeys is ideal when you’re planning a larger gathering. But if you’re dining with just a few friends, we recommend Trader Joe’s Herb Seasoned Brined Bone In Half Turkey. We’ve split a no-antibiotics-ever, Bone In Turkey right down the middle and Brined one Half with a rub of traditional poultry spices. Before we vacuum seal it for freshness, we top it with a disk of compound butter and a sprig of fresh rosemary.

At home, you simply open the package, place the Half Turkey and contents on a baking sheet, tuck the butter disk between the skin and breast, and then roast it in your oven. Because it sits flat on the tray, the bird cooks evenly, and the skin easily crisps to a golden brown. Perhaps best of all, our Half Turkey takes an estimated 65 to 86 minutes to reach its finished temperature of 165°F. That’s less than Half the time it typically takes to cook a full size bird. This approach is so simple, and the result is so beautiful and delicious, you just may choose to cook two or three Halves and invite more guests!

You’ll find Trader Joe’s Herb Seasoned Brined Bone In Half Turkeys in our refrigerators for Turkey season.
