Receiving Instructions

Turkey breast ships chilled with ice packs.
Upon receipt, store in refrigerator for up to 4 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

To thaw, remove from freezer and place in refrigerator as noted above.
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Place defrosted turkey breast in roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake 10–15 minutes per pound, approx. 1–1 1/2 hours.
Remove from oven and allow to rest 10–15 minutes prior to serving.
