What is Oven Ready turkey?
Oven Ready is the first whole turkey that comes in its own FOOL-PROOF™ cooking bag that allows it to go directly from freezer to oven without thawing, cleaning or seasoning.

Is it pre-cooked?
Oven Ready turkey is not pre-cooked. It is fresh, frozen turkey that can be found in your grocer's freezer section.

Do I have to thaw it?
No. You do not need to thaw Oven Ready turkey because it comes wrapped in a FOOL-PROOF™ cooking bag that allows it to go directly from freezer to oven without the need to thaw.

Do I have to clean it?
No. You do not need to clean Oven Ready turkey because it has already been cleaned for you! The neck and giblets have already been removed for your convenience.

Does it need to be seasoned?
No. You do not need to season Oven Ready turkey because it comes preseasoned in two different flavors for you to choose from: Home Style and Butter, Garlic and Herb.

Can I stuff it?
No. To avoid damaging the FOOL-PROOF™ cooking bag that Oven Ready turkey comes in, we do not recommend stuffing the turkey. Also, harmful bacteria can survive in stuffing that has not reached a safe internal temperature, therefore, it is recommended that stuffing be cooked separately.

Can I make gravy?
Yes, the FOOL-PROOF™ cooking bag seals in the juices while cooking. These juices can be poured from the bag when the turkey is done. We have provided instructions on the outside of the package for great tasting turkey gravy.

How do I cook it?
Simply pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees, remove the turkey from its outer package (leaving it in its FOOL-PROOF™ cooking bag) and place in a roasting pan. Cut six slits in the top of the bag and pull it up and away from the turkey to release the vacuum. Place the turkey in your oven and roast until the built in pop-up timer indicates that the turkey is done.

Additionally, try the Oven Ready Boneless Skinless Breast in your slow cooker: Place cooking bag with frozen turkey in the bottom of the slow cooker. Cut three 1/2 inch slits in the top of the FOOL PROOF® cooking bag. Cook for approximately 4 1/2 hours with the slow cooker on high setting or 6 1/2 hours on the low setting.

How long does it take to cook?
A typical 11-13 pound turkey will cook in approximately 3-1/2 — 4 hours.

How will I know when it's done?
Your Oven Ready turkey is done cooking when the built-in timer pops up or your meat thermometer reaches 170 degrees in the breast and 180 degrees in the thigh.

What sizes does Oven Ready turkey come in?
Oven Ready turkey comes in a whole turkey, bone-in breast and a boneless, skinless breast. In addition, the whole turkey comes in two ranges: 11-13 pounds and 17-19 pounds.
