Picking The Right Turkey

There are many factors when it comes to picking the right turkey for your Thanksgiving meal. At High Steaks Butcher Shop we value quality fresh (never frozen) birds. We take pride in sourcing from several different farms that all have sustainable farming in mind. 

If you are looking for a more local bird this Thanksgiving our Joyce Farms turkey is the one for you, farmed in North Carolina these birds are free range, hormone and antibiotic free. 

We also great options from D'Artagnan including their Organic and Heritage Turkey. The Heritage Turkey (also knows as a Narragansett Red) is considered the original Thanksgiving Turkey. 

When it comes to figuring out what size turkey you are going to need this Thanksgiving a good rule of thumb is to get 1.5 lbs per person you are going to be serving this year. If you're like us though and prefer to have a little leftover for those amazing turkey sandwiches, then I would go a little bit larger.
