With Thanksgiving just a week away, now is the time to find some great tips and tasty ideas for your turkey. Living in Cincinnati, I am proud to share that Ohio ranks 9th overall nationwide in turkey farming. There is a small turkey farm that has been in business for decades, right here in my small hometown.
About 95% of Americans eat turkey at Thanksgiving, as with tradition, and November is an extremely busy time for Ohio turkey farmers. Ohio turkey farmers provide exceptional care into their flock and ensure that their turkeys are healthy and safe. Most Ohio turkeys are raised and live indoors and are protected from the harsh outdoor elements.
Ohio turkeys alone consume over 252 Million pounds of corn each year. That makes some pretty hearty, healthy turkeys! With access to fresh food and water each day, Ohio turkeys are some of the most delicious around.
As you prepare your holiday table for a sumptuous turkey, here are some tips to help you use those turkey leftovers into savory and tasty dishes everyone will love.
- When choosing your Thanksgiving turkey, allow 1 lb of turkey per person for a fresh or frozen variety. This ensures everyone has plenty to eat.
- Allow appx 24 hours of thawing time for every 4-5 pounds of turkey weight (in the fridge of course)
- Plan for cooking time of 20 minutes for each 1 lb of your turkey. So if you are baking a 20 lb turkey, you will want to cook it at 350
these are some super pieces of advice.
I love it. I wish I knew how to use twitter parties and such
