"TURKEY-CUE" FACTS
- Because it is a
leaner meat option, turkey is perfect for backyard chefs and novices that want
low-fat, high-protein, low-sodium and easily
adaptable new recipe ideas.
- People are tired of the same old barbecue options! The National Turkey Federation notes that
people want to dazzle and impress family and
friends with newly grilled items and without increased cooking preparation.
- The new high-tech barbecues make rotisserie turkey a snap.
According to Gary Bertassi of the Grillers Hall
of Flame in Massachusetts,
these grills have new rear burner options
that lead to reduced
flare-ups, minimal clean-up and increased room
underneath the rotating turkey for sauces or
marinades to baste and flavor the turkey.
- Emerging trends: Whole turkeys that are
smoked or wood-grilled are moister,
and they pack a powerful wallop of flavor.
And, according to Brian Heinecke, certified barbecue judge for the
National Barbecue Association,
"Cooking with whole turkeys is becoming more
popular as it allows for creativity to stuff the
turkey's cavity with seasonings -- including citrus --
for additional flavor. And they make for
delicious next-day smoked recipe suggestions
like turkey sandwiches and salads."
- Shady Brook Farms offers a wide variety of fresh-
from-the-farm turkey products perfect for the
grill, including Shady Brook Farms Boneless,
Skinless Turkey Breast Roast (only 0.5 fat
grams), Shady Brook Farms Sweet Italian Turkey
Sausage (only 5 fat grams), and new pre-seasoned
Shady Brook Farms OnlyOne Gourmet Turkey Burgers
(only 1 fat gram ).
