@Nick To check the availability of birds and bird sizes at your store, I recommend that you check out the online shopping site for your store. You can find that by clicking on the link below. Most stores offer a bird that’s 10-12 lbs as their smallest bird. If you’d like a smaller portion than that, we also sell just the turkey breast both prepared and unprepared. Those options should also be available through the online store. Thanks for reaching out.

I am looking for low sodium turkey (turkey breast preferred), but everything I have seen so far has too much sodium. Many have brine injected or packaged with the turkey. Do you sell any brands that do not have added sodium?

Re: the oven-ready boneless turkey breast cooking time: it took almost 2 hours at 350 degrees. I think it would be helpful in the future if Whole Foods listed the weight of each turkey breast and an estimate of cooking times. The 160 degree instruction is good, but doesn’t help in planning the cooking time. Thanks. It was delicious, and I plan to order it again at Christmas.

There is the possibility of some surface ice on our fresh turkeys due to the low temperatures they are stored in. They will not be frozen through and through the way frozen turkeys are though (and will not require defrosting). If you are concerned about the amount of ice on your turkey, you can feel free to bring it back to the store for an exchange or refund.

Cooking time will vary by weight. Your best bet is to get a meat thermometer and cook your turkey until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees, then take it out of the oven and let it rest til it reaches 165.

I ordered the oven-ready boneless turkey breast. but it doesn’t say how much it weighs,, and I don’t know about how long it will take to cook in the oven. Can you tell me about how long it should take to get to the right internal temperature?

I just purchased a fesh uncooked turkey from you.
When i opened it up, the neck pleaced inside the body of the bird has ice on it.
I can understand some ice on the surface,
but i think if its frozen inside it was not chilled right.
comments please ?
