With harvest in full swing, now is the time to gather around fresh, locally-grown vegetables and ethically-raised BC turkey. And in BC, we are so lucky to have such a diverse and multicultural community, which is why we want to introduce different flavours and dishes to your holiday feast. Consider reimagined whole bird rubs, delicious international recipes for your side dishes, and creating a welcome space that includes all cultures and cuisines.

This month we invite you to discover plenty of new turkey meals and snacks, turning Thanksgiving into more than just one meal but a month-long mindset. Whether it’s hosting a small get-together with coworkers, a Friendsgiving dinner, or something more traditional, let’s all learn new ways to #GatherAroundBCTurkey!

As we prepare for colder temperatures and shorter days, now is the perfect time to try out different turkey cuts and pair them with quality ingredients like fresh, seasonal vegetables. Join us this November as we introduce recipes on turkey thighs, drumsticks, breasts, and other cuts that bring versatility and lean protein into your weekly roster. Pair it with half your plate full of veggies and you’ve got a nutritious meal to boost your body with all the necessary vitamins and minerals needed as we head towards winter. After all, the best way to #GatherAroundBCTurkey is with #BCFreshVeggies!

Here at BC Turkey, we are also proud to support the national #WishboneAwards. Nominate someone in your community who deserves recognition for their work so they can receive funds to put turkey on the table and spread the holiday spirit later this season.

As December marks the official start of winter, now is the perfect time to #GatherAroundBCTurkey for big, seasonal feasts and creative ways to stretch a whole bird over multiple meals. Whether it’s a corporate function, staff get-together, Friendsmas, a holiday bash, or a weeknight dinner for two, turkey is the perfect choice for the cold months thanks to its lean protein and nutrient-rich benefits.

We are also proud to launch our Turkey Giveaway Contest in partnership with JD Specialty Turkey as well as BC creators Haan Palcu-Chang and Natasha Mills (see below for more details) along with our “12 Days of Turkey” countdown starting December 12th! It’s a month full of festive cheer, heartfelt moments, and delicious turkey meals and snacks—and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.

Contest runs December 1 – 7th, closing at midnight. Click the links to both videos for your chance to enter and win a FREE specialty turkey from JD Farms!
