Shipped Fresh
In order to ensure freshness and in accordance with USDA labeling, all poultry is considered “fresh” as long as it’s not chilled below 26º. Our turkey suppliers ship their “fresh” birds at 28º, which may mean they are “firm” and in need of a little thawing.
Nylon Truss
To remove the truss just lift the ring and pull it up and over the end of the drumstick. To secure the truss, hold the drumsticks together, lift the ring and pull it over the drumsticks. The nylon truss is oven and microwave safe and can withstand oven temperatures of up to 450º F.

Cooking Instructions from Diestel
Prepare
Preheat the oven to 325º F. To prepare simply remove soft oven ready boneless roast from the bag and rub the exterior of turkey with a blend of your favorite herbs and spices or with a paste made of the following ingredients:
- 4 Tbsp oil, (melted butter, margarine, olive oil, etc.)
- 4 tsp. salt, or to taste
- 2 tsp. Paprika
With the netting on, place the boneless roast in an open roasting pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with approximately 1 cup water or broth.
Roasting
Use a 325º F oven and cook for approximately 25 minutes per pound, or until roast reaches 165º F. Roasting times may vary and we would encourage you to check the internal temperature throughout the roasting time to be careful not to over-roast.
