Cooking with Turkey – Tips from Our Butchers
Whether you’re cooking a whole turkey or a simple ground turkey chili, here are some tips to bring out the best in every bite:
- Use a meat thermometer: Cook turkey to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety and optimal juiciness.
- Brine before roasting: Especially helpful with whole turkeys or turkey breasts for added moisture and flavour.
- Don’t waste the bones: Our turkey bones make rich broth that’s great for soups or as a base for sauces and gravies.
Ask our in-store team for personalized advice when you stop by to buy fresh turkey, we’re always happy to help.
Frozen vs. Fresh Turkey – What's the Difference?
We often get asked whether frozen or fresh turkey meat is better. Here’s what you need to know:
- Fresh Turkey: Never frozen. Offers the best texture and juiciness when cooked shortly after purchase. Ideal for special meals or immediate use.
- Frozen Turkey: Offers convenience and longer shelf life. Great for meal planners, bulk buyers, and households that prefer to stock up.
Whether you prefer fresh or frozen, we ensure that every cut especially our popular fresh turkey breast meets the highest standards for quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sell ground turkey?
We do! Our ground turkey is freshly prepared in-house from premium cuts. It’s a great alternative to ground beef or pork ideal for burgers, meatballs, tacos, and more.
Is your turkey air-chilled? Why does that matter?
Yes, our turkey is air-chilled, not water-chilled. This method preserves the natural flavour and texture, avoids excess moisture, and results in better-tasting turkey across all cuts especially fresh turkey breast.
How should I store fresh turkey once I bring it home?
We recommend storing fresh turkey breast and other cuts in the refrigerator at 4°C or lower. For longer storage, turkey can be frozen without compromising quality, especially when purchased from a trusted butcher like us.
Do you sell turkey bones for broth or stock?
We do. Our turkey bones are perfect for making rich, nourishing stock at home. Many of our Burlington customers buy them alongside their fresh turkey meat to maximize flavor and reduce waste.
Can restaurants or caterers place bulk turkey orders?
Absolutely! We work with local chefs, caterers, and restaurants in Burlington. Contact us directly to place a custom bulk order for fresh turkey or other meats.
