Make the Switch To JENNIE-O Oven Ready Whole Turkey , The Better Alternative for Socialites, minus the time to prepare, but still the same great moist, plump, white meat.

I am a huge fan of Jennie-O Turkey.  In my experience Jennie-O has always been delicious. Even my picky 2 year old likes it.  We are just a family of 3, so we don't need a huge Thanksgiving meal, but just one that we can be more thankful for, and spend time together, instead of sweating it out in the kitchen.

Have you seen Jennie-O's Whole Turkey Oven Ready Birds? You literally just take the frozen bird out of the bag, and bake it. No digging your hands into holes, you fear like prepping other birds. If you don't feel like baking, There are even Jennie-O fully cooked Turkey Breasts.  I found these in the Bakery Section next to the Rotisserie Chicken to go. While the Whole Turkey were in the Frozen Turkey Section. Both are more than enough for a family of my size.

Jennie-O Says,

Thanksgiving dinner preparation can be overwhelming –even for a seasoned cook. If you’re new to the world of Thanksgiving entertaining, turkey preparation can be the most daunting task of all. From thawing and cleaning to seasoning, preparing the turkey can be a time-consuming and messy process. With a house full of invited guests and six or more other dishes to prepare, who has that kind of time?

A recent study,conducted by Harris Interactive, showed nearly 1/3 of Thanksgiving hosts spend 2 hours or fewer socializing with guests on the big day (is that even enough time to eat?). Furthermore, 27% devote 8 hours or more just to cooking.

This infographic provides a snapshot of America’s time-stressed holiday preparation.
