Turkeys require about 4-5 days at 45 degrees to properly cure before cooking.  We butcher the weekend before so they have the perfect amount of time in your fridge to cure.  And you get fresh turkey that’s never been frozen!  Fresh turkey take a brine very well, so this is a great opportunity to brine your bird.  A brine adds flavor, salt, and moisture to the turkey on your plate.
