The time to feast on Schwartz’s smoked turkeys is upon us once more and I wanted to take this opportunity to answer all your Thanksgiving smoked turkey questions.

Where to begin? The turkeys are 10-12 lbs each and we marinate them in our secret spice blend for 3 days before smoking them for 8 hours alongside our briskets. It is up to you, dear customer, to make like our cutters and slice them as cold cuts for platters or sandwiches or steam them in your ovens with apple juice (my favourite way).

They are made to order so you must call us and place your order three days in advance. Don’t forget to order enough for leftovers and our humble cold salads make for great additions to your lunches the next day.

Enjoy this time honoured tradition and know that we are giving thanks for the worst period to ever hit our industry being a thing of the past. Cheers to you and we wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.
