WHY WE LOVE IT
- Nobody smokes a turkey like the experts at the famous Willie Bird Ranch in Northern California, where the free-range birds are raised on the tastiest, healthiest natural grains.

Thawing Instructions
If you need to cook your turkey in the next couple of days, we recommend softening the bird in the refrigerator. Below are the USDA's recommended refrigerator thawing times:
- 4 to 12 pounds – 1 to 2 days
- 12 to 16 pounds – 2 to 3 days
- 16 to 20 pounds – 3 to 4 days
If you need to cook your turkey in less than one day, we recommend softening your bird in a cold-water bath. Allow approx. 30 minutes per pound.
Submerge the turkey (in the original bag) in cold tap water. Change the water every 30 minutes until the turkey is thawed. Cook the turkey immediately after it is thawed. Below are the USDA's recommended cold water thawing times:
- 4 to 12 pounds – 2 to 6 hours
- 12 to 16 pounds – 6 to 8 hours
- 16 to 20 pounds – 8 to 10 hours
