Smoked Turkey Fast Facts:
-All our Turkeys come from a local Mennonite turkey farmer (Sensenig Turkey Farm of Lititz, PA) where the turkeys are raised on an all-veggie diet in a hormone-free, quality-controlled setting. You can taste the difference!
-We brine our turkeys in our custom brine recipe for several days before smoking. This allows plenty of time for the brine to penetrate the turkey prior to smoking, resulting in an even smokey flavor throughout the Smoked Turkey.
-Our Smoked Turkeys contain NO artificial smoke flavoring, preservatives, or fillers. It is an all-natural product, with the smoking process acting as a natural preservative.
-Smoked Turkey makes a great substitute for Smoked Ham, if one does not eat pork for reasons related to health or religious beliefs.
