I had made up my mind To do a better ball this year, but when I walked into Sam’s and saw these turkeys, I thought what the heck. This turkey was one of the best turkeys I ever made. I didn’t do anything real special except salt, pepper, and some grind bowl chicken seasoning that I had in the cabinet. I smeared a lot of butter inside and out cook it according to the direction had to cover it towards the end for about the last half hour the skin was crispy and golden, and the meat was very juicy. I have done the brain method before and I just don’t think it’s necessary. Highly recommend this turkey.

No antibiotics and didn't see nitrites/trates. Dark meat was flavorful and tender. Portions of the white meat seemed chewier than others so wasn't as big of a fan. Hopefully, it isn't our cooking as opposed to the bird itself but ranked based upon what I ate. Excellent price.

Was looking forward to a a spatchcock turkey for thanksgiving and luckily I had opened a couple of days early, bird was heavily bruised on both sides from slaughter and also had freezer burn smell. Return was not a problem but WOW! Not impressed and would not recommend this product.

Hopefully this will not be another item Sam's stop carrying like some other. Found to be just as meaty, and moist as other brands I have used in the past but a great price for a fresh bird. Only down side is no room to buy some extras one to freeze for later on in the year!

Two turkeys were cooked to be tender and moist in our NuWave cookers. Yum, a golden finish. I appreciated being able to pick the size of turkey as the NuWave holds a 10 lb. turkey best. We also bought a 16 pound turkey to spatchcock and cook in the oven. The spatchcock turkey followed Rachel Ray's guidelines and was also tender and moist. Preparation begins with a 24 hour marinating soak of our own special concoction. This ensures flavor and cooks deliciously.

I should have thought about the fact that "natural" does not translate to better. Even though I seasoned and buttered generously, and cooked at the correct time and temperature, I found this to be a flavorless, dry turkey. I didn't even make a turkey sandwich the next day and I usually enjoy the leftovers more than the day of!

I probably won’t ever order something with a variable online again. I ordered a 18-24lb. turkey. The picker choose to just grab one from the turkey bin. Apparently the “pickers” don’t receive the information other than “ a fresh turkey”. I was given a 16.8 lb. bird. I didn’t discover the “error” until I was home. When I returned to Sam’s 3 days later. I talked to 4 people, one identified as a supervisor. None could give me a satisfactory explanation why the correct size wasn’t picked.

This Turkey was the worst Turkey I ever cooked. It was tough and very hard to cut. Fortunately I had purchased a carving ham also to have with our dinner because the Turkey was pretty much inedible. Everyone was struggling to cut it and it had to be cut into baby bite pieces in our to try to eat it. It went in the trash.

I bought this turkey for Thanksgiving. There were six of us for dinner so I got a 12 pounder. plenty of meat for everyone of us, and it was one of the most juiciest and moist turkeys that we had ever had before. I got it because it was a young turkey and because it had no antibiotics. Was a very good buy. would definitely buy again. I’m buying another one for Christmas.

Great turkey!
