This June, all across Canada, we are celebrating men’s health by talking about the tough stuff and ensuring that no man feels alone. According to the Men’s Health Foundation, 1 in 2 men are at risk of social isolation in Canada, and may deal with higher levels of stress and depression, especially since two-thirds are not seeking out professional mental health support services. So this month at BC Turkey, our focus is on setting #AConsciousTable and providing delicious and tasty turkey meals in a supportive environment. And what better way than with a stellar lineup of grilling recipes!
With summer officially set to begin later this month, it’s the time to bust out your grill and grab the charcoal for a season spent outside, serving up loved ones plate after plate of healthy, nutritious turkey recipes.
When we gather together over delicious means, and in this case… grilled turkey, we automatically connect with loved ones. Sharing food is such a fundamental part of culture and our wellness, and when it comes to providing a safe place where everyone feels welcome, there’s no better way than with the upcoming outdoor grilling season.
Follow along this June as content creators help craft up some truly delicious meals ideas, like this video on how to spread out one grocery stop at local Fraser Valley shop, JD Farms, into three delicious recipes by Corbin Cooking, and a great breakfast booster with local Private Celebrity Chef Josh Gale’s latest video on a Turkey Club Breakfast Bagel!
And to all the important men in our lives: you don’t have to battle it alone. We’re here to support you.
Father’s Day is the perfect time of year to bust out your metal tongs and flippers for a lineup of spectacular turkey recipes. On Sunday, June 15th we invite you to honour your father, as well as fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in our society. Their work does not go unnoticed, and especially as we focus on men’s health, we remind the important men in our lives that they’re #NeverAlone.
And don’t forget to tag us in all your recipes! We love seeing BC residents come together and enjoy a delicious grilled turkey meal. When we eat well, we feel well, so incorporating turkey into your lineup this grilling season is a no-brainer thanks to its lean protein and many nutrients.
A big part of mental wellness comes from what we put on our plate—both food wise, and stress wise. Spending time outside with loved ones while you grill up some tasty turkey recipes is a great way to relieve stress and ground yourself in connection. Whatever meal you whip up this Father’s Day, we hope it’s a beautiful one.

When everyone feels safe and supported, you truly set #AConsciousTable. As spring comes to a close later this month, we celebrate all the important ways locally-sourced, healthy, trustworthy turkey products not only nourish our bodies, but our communities. Men’s health month reminds us that sometimes the strongest need the most support, and no one has to battle the tough stuff alone.
