-The most important thing for ordering your Thanksgiving meal needs is that the order deadline is Friday November 20th.
-When ordering turkeys or turkey breasts, the rule of thumb is one pound per adult and a half pound per child, anything you get past that will be for leftovers.
-Our turkeys and turkey breasts are shipped fresh at between 25-28 degrees, per the USDA. Because of this, the turkeys tend to be "a little crusty" on the outside, they are NOT frozen. Running cold water over the bird (which is a good idea to rinse it anyway) and "the crust" will disappear. For more information on this click here to go to the USDA web site.
-The internal temperature for a properly cooked turkey should be 165 degrees in the breast or the thigh. It is important to make sure you are not hitting any bone when getting the reading, it will give you an untrue temperature.
-For any other questions please call us or visit the USDA web site for more information.
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Casey's and Mike's!!!!
