How do I roast my Chef's Pride turkey?
Season turkey to your preference. Preheat oven to 325°F to 350°F. Place turkey breast-side up in a shallow roasting pan. Cover the turkey with foil to prevent over browning. Position turkey in the middle of the oven. To brown, roast the turkey uncovered for the last 30 minutes. Roast until "Chef's Timer" pops up or until meat thermometer placed in the thigh registers 160°F, the breast registers 180°F, or the stuffing registers 165°F. See cooking chart for roasting estimates.
Order questions
How soon before my delivery should I place an order?
It is always a good idea to place your order as soon as you know you are going to order from us. Because we are a seasonal business we run out of certain sizes. If you wait too long, inventory may be limited on the size you want to purchase. Once ordered, you can change your delivery date and quantity up to 14 days prior to your scheduled delivery date.
Can my company get delivery on the day and time we choose?
Can I change my order?
Yes. We ask that you change your order no less than 14 days prior to your scheduled delivery.
How are the turkeys and hams loaded in the truck?
Your order will arrive palletized on a standard (40x48) 4-way, shrink-wrapped pallet. We ask that you exchange pallets with us if you need to keep the order on the delivered pallets. There may be a charge for pallets if there is no exchange.
