We have slowly smoked your Diestel Whole Naturally Smoked Turkey in our own smokehouse until fully cooked. All you need to do is heat-to-taste or enjoy chilled. We are proud to bring you the natural quality of a range grown Diestel turkey, now slowly smoked. Enjoy the ease of heat-and serve!

To guarantee a moist and tender turkey, just remove chilled (not frozen) bird from bag; place in a roasting pan and heat at 325°F for approximately 1½ to 2 hours or to taste.

We also offer a smoked boneless breast that you heat just as you would a ham. Try the honey glaze recipe below or heat alone. Enjoy the ease of heat-and serve! Place smoked breast in an open pan. Roast in a 325ºF oven for approximately 30 minutes or until desired temperature is reached.

2 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. cloves, ground
