Production process

The production of frozen whole turkey meat and offal involves several key steps. Live turkeys are first raised on specialized farms, then processed at dedicated slaughterhouses.

Offal such as livers, hearts, and gizzards may also be harvested, cleaned, and frozen alongside the whole turkey cuts.
