Receiving Instructions

Turkey breast ships chilled with ice packs.
Upon receipt, store in refrigerator for up to 6 weeks or in freezer for up to 6 months.

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

Preparation Instructions

If frozen, thaw in refrigerator as noted above.
Wrap breast in foil and roast at 350°F until internal temperature reaches 140°F.
Remove breast from oven and let rest 10 to 15 minutes prior to serving.
