BATES HICKORY SMOKED TURKEY BREAST - FULLY COOKED
To Use Within Two Weeks – Leave the wrapper on and store in the refrigerator. Once thawed, you can keep the Smoked Turkey in the refrigerator for as long as two weeks.
To Use Now Or Later – A unique feature of a Bates fully-cooked Smoked Turkey is the ability to refreeze. Slice the Smoked Turkey and wrap in airtight meal size packages to refreeze.
How To Heat – Smoked Turkeys are a READY-TO-EAT delicacy, good either cold or heated. If you prefer to serve your Smoked Turkey heated, place in a moderate 300•F oven for approximately 5 minutes per pound.
How To Slice – With any Smoked Turkey it’s gourmet-wise (not stingy) to slice it wafer thin. That lets your lucky palate savor every delicious smoked morsel. A good sharp knife will do the trick.
Occasionally a turkey might have a slight pink cast when sliced…This is a natural characteristic of a Smoked Turkey.
SPIRAL SLICED HICKORY SMOKED HAM
To Use Now Or Later - Hams may be frozen for up to two months. Re-frigerated ham should be eaten within 7 days after opening.
How to Slice - Cut lengthwise to penetrate to the center of the ham to release the slices from each other.
How To Serve - You may warm the ham for 30 minutes at 300 degrees in oven if desired, but we suggest serving at room temperature. NOTE: do not overheat….loss of moisture will lessen the flavor of the ham. You may cover the ham with foil when heating to prevent loss of moisture.
