Trader Joe's knows you may not have the time or energy to cook an entire turkey from scratch this holiday season, which is why the brand is serving up a shortcut in the form of its new Herb Seasoned Brined Bone In Half Turkey.
Just as the name suggests, the new Herb Seasoned Brined Bone In Half Turkey is a half-portion of antibiotic-free turkey brined with a rub of traditional poultry spices. The turkey is also seasoned with herbs like fresh rosemary and a disk of compound butter for extra flavor. The whole thing is then vacuum-sealed to keep the meat fresh, so all you need to do is place the protein on a baking sheet and pop it in the oven. In less than 90 minutes, you'll have a holiday-ready turkey fully cooked.
