Why Choose a Thanksgiving Turkey in Wisconsin from Maplewood Meats

When it comes to Thanksgiving turkeys in Wisconsin, local, high-quality sourcing matters. At Maplewood Meats, we’re proud to offer premium fresh and smoked turkeys—perfect for families in the Green Bay, Fox Valley and broader Wisconsin area looking for the very best holiday centerpiece.

Fresh Free-Range Thanksgiving Turkeys from Ferndale Market

One of our signature offerings is the fresh whole turkey we source from Ferndale Market. These turkeys are:

  • Never frozen — delivered “deep-chilled” at ~ 32 °F, not frozen. 

  • Raised free-range, antibiotic-free on independent family farms. 

  • Naturally processed, with no additives or fillers. 

  • Available for pick up at our retail store in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

This means you’re getting a turkey that stands out in flavor and quality. Reserving early ensures you get the size you need for your holiday gathering.

Tips for Ordering Your Fresh Turkey

  • Determine your guest count and desired leftovers; plan ~ 1½ lbs per guest.

  • Reserve early (pre-orders often begin mid-October for these fresh birds). 

  • Decide if you want a fresh or our house smoked turkey.

  • Because the bird is fresh (not frozen), you’ll skip thawing hassles and get faster cook-times.

Maplewood Meats’ Wisconsin Maple-Sugar Smoked Turkey

In addition to fresh birds, Maplewood Meats offers our own smoked turkey: cured with local Wisconsin maple sugar then slow-smoked to deliver a rich, smoky-sweet flavor. This is an ideal alternative for those who prefer convenience or want something ready to serve.

Why opt for our smoked turkey?

  • The maple-sugar cure adds a subtle Wisconsin maple sweetness that complements the smoke.

  • Because it’s slow-smoked and pre-cooked, it’s great for saving time on the big day.

  • It offers a flavorful twist on the classic roast turkey while staying rooted in local ingredients and craftsmanship.

Serving & ordering suggestions for the smoked turkey

  • Reserve ahead; smoked turkeys often go fast around the holidays.

  • Warm gently before serving (follow our recommended instructions) so you retain the smoke aroma and moisture.

  • Pair it with sides that complement smoke and maple: roasted root vegetables, maple-glazed carrots, a tart cranberry compote.
