The Fresh Market’s Thanksgiving Highlights:

•The Main Event
The Fresh Market offers a variety of premium meat for the most memorable part of any Thanksgiving feast – the main dish. Fresh, tender turkey, raised in Pennsylvania's Amish country is fed a vegetarian diet and 100 percent antibiotic-free. Never frozen and unmatched in taste and tenderness, The Fresh Market recommends brining its fresh turkey for 24 hours and provides brining tips online. At least one pound of uncooked turkey is recommended per person. After cooking, let the turkey rest for 30-45 minutes before carving – the secret to a juicy bird. The hot juices in the turkey must cool and relax back into the meat, and carving it too soon could release them, resulting in a dried-out texture. Invest in a sharp carving set for clean cuts and easy serving. For more time-saving turkey tips, visit thefreshmarket.com/carving.

For another traditional entrée, guests can choose sliced honey ham – double-glazed with honey and brown sugar and smoked over hickory hardwood for a sweet, savory flavor. Not only a spotlight-worthy staple, ham sandwiches make perfect Thanksgiving leftovers! Serve hot or cold with a dollop of spicy mustard or horseradish, or pair with warm sweet potato biscuits for mouthwatering ham sandwiches. The Fresh Market’s hams are fully cooked, so all that is left to do at home is heat and serve!
