About Frozen whole turkey
Three frozen turkey items covering the two ways a kitchen uses the bird: whole and bone-in breast for roasting and carving, and ground turkey in tubes for the line. Frozen whole turkey is one of the few proteins a foodservice buyer can hold for months without quality loss, which is why it trades more calmly than chilled poultry and why it is bought against a calendar rather than against a market.
Buying notes
Whole birds and bone-in breast are quoted per pound and packed two to a case, so the case weight is roughly twice the bird weight and shifts with the size grade; ground turkey is invoiced by the case in tubes. Bone-in breast costs more per pound than whole bird for the obvious reason, that it is all white meat, so cost the whole bird on carved yield before deciding.
