Cooper's Whole Turkey - 13 lb
Cooper's Turkey is one whole bird from Nelson Grass Farm, weighing 13 lb and sold frozen. A 13 lb bird fits a standard roasting pan and a home oven without trouble.
- One whole 13 lb turkey
- Frozen, so plan accordingly to thaw
- Birds include giblets
Plan on about 1 to 1.5 lb of whole turkey per person, so a 13 lb bird serves roughly 9 to 13 people. If you want leftovers, count toward the lower number of guests.
Thaw it in the refrigerator, allowing about 24 hours for every 4 to 5 lb, which works out to roughly three days for this size. Once it's thawed, look in the body and neck cavities for the giblets. Cooper's Turkeys come with them and they make a good base for gravy or stock.
Common Questions
How big of a turkey do I need to feed 10 people?
At the usual 1 to 1.5 lb of whole turkey per person, 10 people need a bird of about 10 to 15 lb. Our 13 lb Cooper's Turkey from Nelson Grass Farm covers 10 guests with some leftovers. The usual rule for a whole bird is 1 to 1.5 pounds per person, because the weight includes bone. Plan on the higher end if you want leftovers, and the lower end if there are lots of sides.
Should I buy a fresh or frozen whole turkey for a holiday dinner?
A frozen whole turkey like Cooper's Turkey lets you buy early and keep the bird in the freezer until the week you need it. A turkey held frozen at 0°F stays safe indefinitely, and quality is best when it's cooked within about a year. A fresh bird has to be bought within a day or two of cooking, which is harder to time around a holiday. The trade-off with frozen is that you have to leave enough time to thaw it fully before roasting, and a bigger bird needs more days.
Does Cooper's Turkey come with giblets?
Yes, Cooper's Turkeys include giblets. Giblets usually come in a small bag tucked inside the body or neck cavity, and they typically hold the neck, heart, and liver. Remove the bag before roasting. Many cooks simmer the neck and giblets into stock for gravy.
