Warming Is Optional:
Here's how It's Done
Step 1
If you would like to serve the turkey warm, remove the packaging and trim away excess neck skin, if desired.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step 2
Place turkey, breast side up, in a roaster or shallow roasting pan. Add approximately 1 cup of water to the pan, or just enough to cover the pan bottom. Cover tightly with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Step 3
Heat turkey in center of oven at 350°F until a meat thermometer, not touching any bone, registers at 145°F in deepest part of the breast.

Family-Owned & Operated
Frick’s history dates clear back to 1896 when Edward Frick opened up a butcher shop in Washington, Missouri. The world’s a mighty different place today, but Frick’s is still a family business, making products in America’s heartland with pride. And if one thing’s been learned over 125 years in the meat business, it’s that flavor takes time.
