The holidays are fast approaching, which means it’s time to start planning that big celebratory meal. For many families, the centerpiece is a beautifully roasted turkey. But preparing a whole turkey can be daunting and take up valuable oven space. That’s why more home cooks are opting for convenience and flavor with a whole deboned turkey. But where can you buy one? Here is your guide to finding the perfect whole deboned turkey for your next feast.
Specialty Meat Shops Offer Premium Deboned Birds
One of the best places to buy a ready-to-roast whole deboned turkey is your local specialty meat shop or butcher Skilled butchers carefully debone the entire bird then tie it back together in a neat bundle ready for your favorite stuffing and seasonings. The results are juicier white and dark meat with incredible flavor.
Brands like Hebert’s Specialty Meats in Louisiana offer premium whole deboned Cajun turkeys online and in stores. Their birds are stuffed with everything from shrimp to alligator sausage dressing then vacuum sealed for freshness. Expect to pay $80 or more for these gourmet specialty items but the quality is worth it for special events.
When buying from a local butcher, look for plump, fresh turkeys where the skin has a bright color. Avoid any unpleasant odors Judge freshness by feel and appearance A reputable butcher shop is the best source for whole deboned birds.
National Grocery Chains Now Offer Deboned Turkeys
Major grocery store chains like Kroger, Publix, and Albertsons have expanded their holiday turkey selections to include fresh, all-natural deboned turkey options. These are convenient since you can buy everything for your meal in one place. Expect to pay about $60 and up.
Brands like Butterball, Jennie-O, and Shady Brook Farms sell premium deboned turkeys with gravy packs for added convenience. Stuffed varieties are flavored with sage, apple, cornbread and other dressings. You can order them cooked or ready for roasting and pick up at your local supermarket.
When buying a deboned turkey from the grocery store, inspect it thoroughly. Look for tight plastic wrapping with no tears. Avoid discolored or foul-smelling meat. Check labeling for proper weight ranges and safe handling. For optimal freshness, cook within 2 days of purchase.
Order Deboned Turkey Online from Specialty Sellers
Another great option is ordering a premium deboned turkey online and having it shipped frozen or fresh packed with ice. Online specialty food retailers offer heritage breed turkeys from small family farms. These free-range humanely raised birds have superior flavor.
Websites like Crowd Cow, Porter Road, and D’Artagnan sell deboned heritage breed turkeys between 10-20 lbs for $120 to $200 depending on the supplier. You can also find Cajun stuffed turkey breast roasts and smaller deboned turkey options for 2-4 people. Order 1 month ahead to ensure availability.
Expect to pay more for heirloom breed deboned turkeys, but the eating quality is noticeably better than standard supermarket varieties. The higher price reflects small farm production, humane treatment, and premium breeding.
Should You Debone Your Own Turkey?
While it’s possible to debone a whole turkey at home, it’s a very labor-intensive process requiring skill and a sharp boning knife to remove every bone cleanly. You’ll also need kitchen twine to tie the turkey back together for roasting.
For most home cooks, it’s worth paying a small premium to buy a ready-to-cook deboned turkey rather than spending 1-2 hours deboning it themselves. But if you want to debone your own as a cost savings measure, watch several online tutorial videos first.
Deboned Turkey Tips and Serving Suggestions
Once you secure your deboned turkey, here are some tips for roasting and serving it:
- Season the inside generously with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and lemon.
- Prepare your favorite stuffing and pack it tightly into the cavity. Stitch up with kitchen twine.
- Roast at 325°F until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 18 minutes per pound.
- Let rest at least 30 minutes before slicing to retain juices.
- Carve into thin slices and serve with gravy, cranberry sauce and side dishes.
- Leftovers are delicious in sandwiches, soups, casseroles, and wraps.
