Since I’m part of the Jennie-O Switch Circle Blogger program, I get some great Jennie-O products sent to me a few times a year. It’s great to get these products, because I love Jennie-O. They have such great quality products that taste amazing. This time around I was given one of their newest products, which is the oven ready Cajun style whole turkey.
Since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, this product would be great for Thanksgiving. Turkey is a huge part of Thanksgiving, so maybe this Cajun style turkey would be different! I certainly thought this was a great turkey for the holidays. I love that it’s Cajun style because it’s something different, and I love foods with extra spice to it.
This turkey is great for my family of four. What I love about these oven ready turkeys, is that they require no thawing. You can take them right out of the freezer and put them straight in the oven. I find this to be such a life saver. Thawing out turkeys take so much time. I love that Jennie-O has a lot of these oven ready turkeys. That means on Thanksgiving day I can pop it right in the oven from the freezer. There is a pop up timer with this as well, so that makes it easier to tell when the turkey is finished. I always love the pop up timers.
I was surprised at how quick this turkey was to cook too. I would say mine was done in about 3 1/2 hours. It does say it can take about four hours, but that also can depend on your oven or the weight of the turkey. Mine may have been done sooner, but this is when I checked on it, and it was perfect the way it turned out. I do like mine a little burnt on the top, so this was great. As you can probably see, this turkey was cooked in a bag. I had to cut a few slits in the bag before I cooked it. It does cook right in this bag. Once it’s finished cooking, you’ll want to let it sit for about 15 minutes before you cut the bag off.
The turkey smelled so great when it was cooking, and even better once I took it out of the oven. It did also come with a gravy packet, so after I let it cool down I poured that on top of the turkey. I think it gives it more of a flavor and sometimes turkeys can get a bit dry, so it helps with that as well. I didn’t have problems with this turkey being dry though, it turned out great!
Jennie-O certainly has the best turkey out there. I have never found a better turkey. I always stick with Jennie-O now because of how tender and juicy the turkey turns out to be. I could even think of some great recipes that you could make with this turkey.
If you haven’t picked up a turkey for Thanksgiving yet, I’d recommend something from Jennie-O. If you would like to try something new, then go with this Cajun style turkey! It’s got a great kick of spice to it, so if your family loves a spice to their meals, then this would be the perfect way to go.

That looks amazing. I lave the flavors of Cajun spices, and of course, turkey can’t be beat. I can’t wait to try this.
It was amazing. I loved it!
Jennie-O is my favorite turkey. Those other ones are so full of butter and additives that they make me sick to my stomach. Can’t wait to try this!
I completely agree! Jennie-O is the best!
I have never heard of a canjun turkey like this before!!! Sounds like an amazing turkey to try out and easy to cook too!
It was really good. Certainly simple to cook.
Oh that is making my mouth water! Thanksgiving is not too far away this might have to make the menu.
Right. I can’t believe it will be here in just a little over a week.
This sounds really delicious and I love how easy it is to prepare. I will be looking for this at my grocery store.
Great! It is really easy to make.
What?! This is brilliant. I will hunt this down!!
Great! It really tastes great too!
OMG, Cajun flavored turkey that doesn’t have to be defrosted. I need to find one of those Jennie O turkeys!
Right! I was amazed to see a Cajun styled turkey!
Cajun style you say? Now, that is something I love. I am tempted for more of that, haha!
I love Cajun style too! This turkey was great!
Yum! I bet this turkey is bursting with flavor. I love cajun, so this is a must try.
It did have a ton of flavor. Very good!

I love Jennie-o products and will have to keep an eye out for the Cajun-style turkey. I eat the turkey hot dogs all the time, but have never seen the seasoned turkey. My husband and even my son would LOVE this! Me too! 🙂
It was so good too! I hope you’re able to find it.
Yum. This turkey looks amazing. I am so ready to eat Thanksgiving diner now. 🙂
Me too! I love Thanksgiving dinner. Jennie-O is the best turkey, and I can’t wait to have more!

I never thought about having a cajun spiced turkey for Thanksgiving…I will definitely keep it in mind while narrowing down my Thanksgiving Day menu. Thanks for the idea!
You’re welcome. It certainly is something different. I certainly liked it a lot.
I’m not much of a cook, but I think even I could handle this! This sounds delicious
I’m sure you could. It’s so simple to use!
holy yum yum, I’d love to have this cajun chicken tonight with a big salad… next time I run to the store I’m going to get this : )
I didn’t even think about salads. I’m sure this would go great for a salad!
I love spicy foods. I’m going to have to try a Cajun style turkey this year. I already bought a turkey but that can be for those who don’t like a little zing in their food.
It was really good too. I love a little spice with my food.
My husband has been worrying me to get a turkey for Christmas since we dont celebrate Thanksgiving here in South Africa. It’s so hard to find one in my city. This looks so yummy! I want!
It is really good! I love Jennie-O!
Well that seems easy enough!! I am craving left over turkey sandwiches!
That does sound good!
this turkey looks delicious! I love that the Jennie-o company has some turkeys with flavors. Plain turkeys are a little bland and I am sure this one is very flavorful. Happy Thanksgiving!
It was full of flavor. I loved it!
This looks and sounds like a delicious turkey! I love Jennie-O products so I know I would love this.
It was really good. I also really love Jennie-O products.
I have heard how good this turkey is!.. Rave reviews from friends and family. The only problem I am having is finding this cajun turkey. The websites will have it listed but they wont be in store. Any suggestions on how to or where to purchase these turkeys?
Thanks
If you use this link on the Jennie O website, you can search for a product and see if it’s anywhere near you. Hope this helps. https://www.jennieo.com/where-to-buy
This is my all time favorite turkey!!!! I looked high and low last year and could not find one anywhere!!! Where can they be purchased?
Sadly I don’t know if they carry this product anymore. I haven’t seen it around either and it’s not on their website.
Thank you for the info.
No problem.
