Is this turkey halal?

Yes. It is certified 100% hand Zabiha Halal, meaning the bird was slaughtered by hand according to Zabiha requirements.

Was it ever frozen before shipping?

The bird is shipped frozen and packed with dry ice to stay frozen in transit. Storage is listed at 28-32°F.

How many people does a 12-14 lb turkey feed?

About 9 to 11 people, based on roughly one pound per person with leftovers.

How long does it take to thaw?

Allow about 24 hours per 4-5 lbs in the refrigerator, so roughly three days for a bird this size. A cold-water bath is faster but needs frequent water changes.

Is it brined or seasoned?

No. It ships raw and unseasoned, so you brine, rub or inject it yourself.

How does it compare with a standard supermarket turkey?

It adds halal certification, an antibiotic-free and hormone-free diet, free-range raising and animal welfare certification, which conventional birds usually lack.

Our take on the Whole Turkey (12-14 lbs)

A whole young turkey in the 12-14 lb range, hand-slaughtered to Zabiha Halal standards and raised without antibiotics or added hormones. It is grain fed and comes from free-range Minnesota farms with animal welfare certification. That combination is rare: most supermarket turkeys are neither halal certified nor antibiotic-free, and halal whole birds are usually sold through specialty butchers. It suits halal households and anyone who wants a clean-label bird for a holiday roast. It arrives frozen and uncooked, so plan on thawing and seasoning it yourself.
