Fantastic Smoked Turkey by Mail

Published on Thursday, October 12, 2006, by C. Thi Nguyen / Edit Post

Greenberg’s, in Tyler, Texas, has been in the business of selling smoked turkeys for 65 years. Their turkeys arrive ready to eat; you can reheat, or just slice ‘em and eat ‘em. Fleur describes the meat as fresh, moist, and succulent, and excellent either as a main course or for sandwiches. Leftovers can be frozen.

They get really busy during the upcoming holiday season, so order soon to get the size you want. A turkey from Greenberg’s would make a very special present.

  • AVOID these at all costs. Mine was burned inside out. The turkey was inedible and dry. I know my barbecue and was a food editor, but these are awful. Now worth it.

    If you haven't heard, there is a place in Tyler Texas that smokes turkeys and people literally stand in line to buy them because they are apparently that good. I decided on a whim that this year in lieu of making a turkey, I would get one delivered as a special treat for my family. Keep in mind it cost $45 for an 8 pound turkey with delivery included…it was delivered today and made me think deeply when it arrived. To find out why we are deep in thought, take my turkey quiz below.

    Turkey Quiz:

    Let's pretend you are a UPS delivery driver. (At this point empty your head of all common sense)

    You get in your truck today and see an overnight package labeled, "perishable."

    This package was let's say...stamped with a LARGE picture of a turkey.

    This package was also labeled as a "smoked turkey."

    Let's throw in a zinger…it's also a few days before Thanksgiving so common sense would say it's probably a turkey.

    Oh, AND the sweet smell of smoked turkey emitting from the package filled your truck.

    So, here is my question…
    WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU LEAVE IT ON MY FRIGGIN PORCH WHERE THERE IS A 75 POUND, DROOLING BLACK LAB WAGGING HER TAIL AT YOU?-COLLAPSE
