The Importance of Sharing a Meal this Thanksgiving Holiday

Thanksgiving is a time to show gratitude for all the blessings we've received. With that gratitude, we express our appreciation by giving back—sharing our time and love over a shared meal. This special tradition reconnects us with our community and refills our hearts with warmth. This holiday refocuses our attention on what truly matters. We take a break from distractions and work and enter into a time of celebratory rest that we all need. This meal isn't just another meal. Sharing a healthy meal is a form of self-care we should participate in by prioritizing replenishing our bodies with the nutrition they need. How much more meaningful is it to do it with others by your side?

The Pasture Raised Difference

At Fingerprint farms, our turkeys are raised differently. Unlike turkeys you get at the grocery store and other farms our turkeys aren't pumped full of hormones and antibiotics or raised in confined spaces. Our turkeys are part of our community. They are pasture raised on our farm, in a healthy environment. This might sound a little cheesy, but a turkey needs to be a turkey. They need plenty of space to roam, fresh grass to graze and gobble freely to be their healthiest. Fingerprint Farms prioritizes regenerative farming practices to ensure we provide healthy and high quality pasture raised turkey.


At Fingerprint Farms, we take pride in the way we raise our turkeys. We value their well-being and health, showing appreciation for our food source by treating them with the respect they deserve. No need to worry about unnecessary additives, hormones, antibiotics or other chemicals that can make you sick when it comes to any of our products. Our turkeys have been loved and raised well.

Regenerative Farming

Our process begins with raising our turkeys in the brooder and then moving them onto pasture. They grow to maturity with plenty of space to roam and graze, ensuring they live healthy lives. We prioritize the regenerative farming method because it’s better for the animals and the environment. The result is a high-quality, nutritionally dense turkey, one that’s worth serving to your loved ones this holiday season.

Regenerative Far Near Me

Our turkeys are free to roam! They have plenty of space to express themselves by clucking, gobbling, and scavenging for bugs. Ensuring they have space to live contributes to their overall well-being and happiness.

GMO Free Meat

We provide our turkeys with spacious land to roam freely, GMO free diets, and clean, healthy living conditions.

Hormone Free Meat

We do not use hormones and antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides on our land. Eliminating these harsh chemicals ensures the health of our soil, plants, animals, and customers.

Tips for Preparing The Perfect Thanksgiving Turkey and Feast

If that wasn’t enough, here are some tips for preparing the ultimate pasture raised turkey:

  • Defrosting: Defrost your turkey in the fridge for 24 hours for every 5 pounds of bird. Proper defrosting is essential to ensure the turkey cooks evenly.
  • Brining: Brining your turkey before roasting helps increase flavor and lock in moisture for a juicy, delicious result. The brine can be a simple mixture of water, salt, and herbs for the turkey to soak into before cooking.
  • Stuffing: Stuffing your turkey with aromatic vegetables and herbs—like carrots, onions, lemons, and celery—will increase flavor and moisture. Don’t skip this step!
  • Seasoning: Don’t be afraid to cover your turkey generously with your favorite seasoning or spices.
  • Cooking: You have heard the saying, “Slow and steady wins the race.” That phrase applied to cooking turkey as well. Cooking your turkey at a lower temperature for a longer time ensures it will be tender and flavorful.
  • Resting: After cooking, allow the turkey to rest for about 20–30 minutes to let the juices settle, enhancing its flavor.
  • Presentation: We know the turkey tastes great, but what about the presentation? Plating the turkey nicely adds a level of elegance and enhances the experience of the meal, making it even more special. This holiday comes around once a year, so why not make it extraordinary? Remember, this isn’t just any turkey!

Side Dishes

While the turkey is the main attraction, the sides are what make the meal even more memorable. Here are a few suggestions:


Mashed Potatoes: Creamy, buttery, and steamy mashed potatoes are the ultimate fall comfort food, adding warmth and fullness to your Thanksgiving meal. If you want to impress your guests, make a homemade gravy dressing. 


Roasted Vegetables: You will never go wrong with a healthy portion of roasted vegetables. Roasting vegetables with a generous amount of oil, spices, and salt brings out a delicious flavor. The natural sweetness of the vegetables complements perfectly with the savoriness of the turkey.


Cranberry Sauce: You can’t forget the cranberry. It’s not a Thanksgiving feast without cranberry sauce. Follow any recipe you love to make the perfect fresh homemade cranberry sauce that adds sweetness to your feast and enhances the flavors of your tasty farm-fresh turkey. 


Desserts: Save room for dessert. Sweet always pairs well with savory. Offering a sweet treat to your guest at the end of the course will make your Thanksgiving feast unforgettable. So whip up a sweet potato pie, cobbler, yams, or any sweet delight you crave.
