Dec. 8, 2015
Jennie-O Turkey Store Inc. introduces Oven Ready Cajun-Style Whole Turkey and Bone-In Turkey Breast this holiday season.

One of the largest turkey processors and marketers in the world, Jennie-O Turkey Store Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hormel Foods Corp., introduces Oven Ready Cajun-Style Whole Turkey and Bone-In Turkey Breast this holiday season. These fool-proof turkeys go from freezer to oven with minimal preparation and no thawing or handling of raw poultry.

The Oven Ready concept is ideal for first-time hosts or those who simply want an easier entertaining experience. The turkey is marinated, seasoned and prepared in a manner to guarantee it comes out tender and golden brown, so the cook can focus on other food preparation. Each 11-lb. to 13-lb. whole turkey requires about four hours of oven roasting; the 4-lb. to 7-lb. breasts are ready in less than three hours. Both turkeys come with a gravy packet with instructions on how to prepare gravy using turkey drippings.

Jennie-O aims to help families achieve a deliciously simple and easy holiday season. To assist, the website (JennieO.com) includes an expanded selection of entertaining inspiration resources, such as side dish and dessert recipes, as well as how-to videos and do-it-yourself tips.
