National Turkey Lovers’ Day on the third Sunday in June each year demands we make room for turkey on the menu this summer.

With turkey being enjoyed more often in the spring and summer than ever before, it is the established year-round meat because of its versatility. Ground turkey, turkey tenderloin, turkey sausage, and turkey bacon are some of the more popular ways to enjoy this delicious meat.

Summertime grilling includes turkey burgers, turkey drumsticks, turkey breast, and turkey hot dogs. Delis offer turkey sandwiches as a popular lunch choice, too. Turkey adds to the fast and fresh convenience for consumers who love the option for its healthy lean protein and tasty flavor.

NATIONAL TURKEY LOVERS’ DAY HISTORY
