With the holidays coming up quick, we have to be ready for everything. Cooking is one of the biggest things for me to get ready for. There is so much food to cook to get ready for the holidays. Of course the main meal is one of the most important things, right!? This year my daughters and I went over to my father’s house to have a small Christmas get together. It was just my daughters, myself and my father there. I brought over all the food so that we could have a nice dinner.
Jennie-O sent me their bone-in turkey breast with gravy packet this month, and I was very excited about it. This was the perfect size for us since it was just the four of us having dinner together. What’s really nice about this turkey, is that you don’t have to thaw it out. It’s ready to go in the oven right away after taking it out of the freezer. This is such a time saver! All you have to do is put the turkey in the roasting pan, keep the clear bag on it though. You’ll want to put about six slits in the bag and lift the bag up some. Then you can put the turkey in the oven at 375 degrees. The pop up timer will show, so it’s easier to know when the turkey is done. You’ll also want to make sure the thermometer shows 165 degrees and that’s how you’ll know the turkey is ready. For us, it took about 2 1/2 hours for the turkey to be done. This turkey saved us so much time!
Our turkey turned out great! It cooked so well and it was very juicy, just the way we love it. Our house smelled amazing as the turkey was cooking too. Since it came with a gravy packet, we used the extra drippings to make the gravy. That turned out great as well. We love using drippings from the turkey for gravy because it gives it a great flavor.
We made an amazing dinner with lots of great food. The turkey was a huge hit for us. It was very juicy and full of flavor. I actually didn’t even use the gravy for the turkey since it was already juicy. However, I did dip the turkey in the gravy sometimes because I love it that way. We mainly used the gravy for the potatoes. It was amazing too!
I’m so happy to say that everyone enjoyed it very much. I honestly can say that Jennie-O has the best turkey I have had. I have never had a turkey taste so juicy and have so much flavor before. I’ll be sticking to Jennie-O turkeys from now on.
We had a few leftovers, but we did eat a lot of the turkey. I’m actually glad we have some leftovers so that I can make something else with the turkey. I know the turkey can make many recipes taste amazing. Turkey is one of my favorite meats, so there is plenty of things to make with it. Turkey sandwiches are one of my favorites, and they’re simple to make. That or we will just be having turkey with some vegetables again. Either way, I’m very glad we were able to enjoy the Jennie-O turkey.
If you haven’t already picked up a turkey for Christmas, I highly suggest you grab one from Jennie-O. I don’t think you’re going to be disappointed. My family certainly loved it.

It was very delicious! The best turkey I’ve had.
We actually served one of these for Thanksgiving since it was just the 2 of us this year! This is a great holiday meal option!
It is a great option! I completely agree. This one was perfect for us because it was smaller and we only had four people eating.
I cook Jennie-O turkey breasts all the time. They’re delicious, and I can get that holiday flavor anytime. Yum.
Glad to hear you love them too! Definitely the best turkey!
Jennie-O is the best turkey bar-none -whether it’s a breast or a whole bird. Some of those other brands are so greasy. Blech.
I completely agree. Greasy is a no go for me. This Jennie-O turkey was amazing!
Whenever we cook turkey, we get Jennie-O. I’ve been making them for years. I love to make the breasts and cut it up for sandwiches and shred it for pot pie. Yummo!
Glad to hear you love it too. This certainly would be great with pot pies. I may have to try that next!
That turkey looks so delicious and also very easy to cook, I have to check it out ^_^
I hope you are able to try it. It was very simple to make and so good!
That turkey certainly looks tasty. We use Jennie-O ground turkey sometimes, but I have never tried the turkey breast. I would love to try it soon!
I hope that you’re able to try it out soon. It’s very delicious!
We actually have a Jenny-O Turkey for Christmas this year! I love turkey this time year I don’t think I can ever get enough of it.
That’s great to hear! I’m glad you love their products as much as I do.
I use those turkey’s all the time when we have turkey on our menu! I love how easy they are to cook up!
Right! I love how quick and easy it is as well.
I was just thinking of buying another turkey as my family loves to eat them. I will watch for this brand
I hope you’re able to try it out for your family. It was so good!
Looks really delicious! I don’t think we have Jennie-O here in Canada, but I am wishing we did. That looks super delicious, juicy and makes me want Christmas dinner right now!
I’m sorry to hear they don’t have them in Canada. That’s to bad. It really is very delicious. Hopefully they bring them to Canada!
I would have never given this product the time or day. That picture looks so good, I’ve totally changed my thinking. I really need to give this a try.
I hope that you do. This was the first Jennie-O turkey I’ve ever had and I will never go back to any other brand. This was the best I’ve ever had!
This sounds super convenient and the turkey looks delicious. This sounds like a great option for our Christmas dinner.
It was an amazing option! The best turkey I’ve ever had!
Wow! I really have to try it.
I hope that you do. It was amazing!
Sounds and lookds delish! Now I want turkey instead of ham this Christmas!
It was very delicious! I personally would rather have turkey. I think it’s so much better!
This would save me so much time in the kitchen! And it is Jennie-O, which is a name I trust.
I agree! I trust them as well. I also love the fact that it saves so much time. During the holidays I certainly need that!
I love Jennie-O products and have been using her products for years. Her turkey is amazing and makes wonderful sandwiches, soups and stews.
I’m glad you love it as well. The turkey really is amazing!

Thanks! I certainly loved the turkey and I do love their other products as well.
This is such a great way to have a delicious turkey. I love the white meat so this is perfect for us. I will have to try one.
I hope that you are able to try it. It was very good.
That is so cool that it is oven ready. I love that the seasonings are ready and looks so yummy!
I loved that it was oven ready as well. Great for those in a rush.
What a simple and delicious option for Christmas dinner! I’m not great at cooking meat, so this is right up my ally!
Same here! This was so simple to make. It was great.
Jenni-o has such great options. I love grabbing a turkey breast when I am just feeding my small family!
They do have a lot of great options, I completely agree with that!
I have decided to eat healthier this coming 2016. I will keep Jennie-O in mind in making turkey meals for my family. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. This would be a great choice if you’re looking to eat healthier.
This looks delicious! I’m not a great cook so I love quick and meals that I can serve up to the whole family.
This was really easy to make. I’m sure anyone could do it.
I have never tried preparing a raw turkey so this would be an easy pass for me. I will check this out from the store..
I hope you’re able to get one and try it out. It was very delicious.
I love jeanie-o products! The turkey that you are reviewing here always comes out so moist and delicious and their ground turkey really helps me stretch ground beef, pork and venison!
I’m glad to hear you love them as well! The turkey sure is very delicious!
My SIL is always the one who prepares the turkey. But I would love to cook us one one of these days. That looks yummy!
It is really good. I hope you are able to try this one out.
Yum. This looks great. I’ve been looking for new dinner ideas.
I hope you’re able to try it out. It’s so good!
That is a great option for a holiday meal! Quick to make meals are my favorite.
Same here! It’s nice to have something that can cook quick for a simple holiday meal.
We love getting these. They are so delicious and easy to feed a small family like ours with plenty of leftovers.
Great to hear you love it too! It really is nice to have because of how quick and simple it is to make.
I used to eat Jennie-O all the time growing up! Unfortunately, we don’t have many retailers that carry it near where we live. Looks delicious though!
It was very delicious. Glad to hear you like it as well. That’s to bad it’s not close enough for you.
I never heard of this brand of turkey! We will definitely have turkey in my home for Christmas!
I hope you’re able to try it out and find it in stores. It’s so good!
I have never bought Jennie o turkey breast! I’m going to have to change that. I do however but there ground turkey all the time!
I hope you get a chance to try it out. If you love the ground turkey, I’m sure you’ll love the turkey breast!
Sounds fabulous for a busy mom! Never tried this brand before but definitely want to.
I hope that you’re able to try it. It’s very good!
I cook with Jennie-O all the time. I haven’t tried their big turkeys and chickens though yet.
Glad to hear you love their products too!
It is a great option! This one was perfect for us, since it was smaller and we only had 3 people having dinner.
I’m glad to hear you love it as well. It is great for a small family dinner. We loved it.
