Smoked turkey

Smoked turkey already has flavor from the smoking process, but it’s best heated thoroughly before eating — especially if it was sold raw or partially processed. Always reheat to safe internal temperature to ensure food safety.

If unopened, store smoked turkey in a cool, dry place. Once opened or after cooking, refrigerate promptly and use within 3–4 days. For longer-term storage, you can freeze properly wrapped portions.

Smoked turkey pairs well with hearty soups, stews, sauces, and rice dishes. Its smoky flavor adds depth to meals like pepper soup, jollof rice, or stews with vegetables and spices.
