Selecting Your Ham or Turkey

When determining how much ham to buy for your next occasion, it is best to base your purchase on number of servings per pound. As a guide, you can expect: Boneless: 3 servings per pound, Bone-in: 2 servings per pound.

Caring For Your Ham or Turkey

Proper handling is important to protecting the flavor and quality of your dish. Placed in the coldest part of the refrigerator promptly after purchase, meat can usually be stored in its original wrapping until the freshness date on the package.

Leftovers should be tightly wrapped or covered and refrigerated within 1 to 2 hours after heating. They may be stored in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.

Ham and Turkey does not keep its high quality long in the freezer. Freezing causes changes in flavor and texture to occur. If freezing the product is necessary, it should be kept in original wrapping or, after heated, tightly sealed and stored at 8ºF for no longer than 2 months.

Cooking Your Ham or Turkey

All of our hams and turkeys are fully cooked. However, should you desire to serve your dish warm, please follow the heating instructions on the package. Before heating, remove packaging and cover.

Roasting (300ºF-325ºF Oven Temperature)
