Turkey Since 1949, the Diestel family has provided us with exceptionally delicious old-fashioned turkey flavor that we think is simply the best, no matter which of their turkeys you choose.

Original Diestel Turkey It all started with the Original Diestel turkey. These all-natural, slow-growing birds are given plenty of time and space to develop naturally, with no hormones or antibiotics, resulting in a juicy, tender turkey with an old-fashioned flavor and “all that white meat.”

Organic Heidi Turkey Diestel Organic, also known as Heidi’s Hens®, are a Certified Organic turkey raised with certified organic feed, which by definition is also NON-GMO! They are never given antibiotics or hormones.

Non-GMO Natural Turkey The Non-GMO Project Verified turkeys grow naturally and slowly. The result is a juicy, tender turkey with a signature oldfashioned flavor. Turkeys are fed a nonGMO diet, And of course are never given antibiotics or growth stimulants.

Organic Heirloom Turkey The best of the best, the heirloom is a pure-bred, old-fashioned bronze breed turkey — turkey at its purest and the flavor is unbelievable. Heirloom birds are range-grown in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, where they forage on large open fields. The birds are fed a vegetarian diet that’s 100% free of GMOs, animal byproducts, antibiotics, growth enhancers and hormones.

Produce Tips Cranberry Orange Sauce Serves 8-12

12 oz fresh cranberries 1 cup sugar 1 cup orange juice Optional: 2 Tablespoons chopped candied ginger, 1 teaspoon orange zest, cinnamon stick In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, dissolve sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranberries and cook until cranberries start to pop (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.

Fresh produce cooking conversions Apples: 1 1/2 lb = 4 cups, sliced Mushrooms: 1/4 lb = 2.5 cups, sliced Onions: 1 medium = 1 cup, diced Celery: 2 1/2 medium ribs = 1 cup, diced Carrots: 1 1/2 medium carrots, chopped = 1 cup Garlic: 3 cloves = 1 Tablespoon Parsley: 3/4 bunch = 1 cup

Green Beans with Crispy Shallots Serves 4

1-1/2 lbs green beans 1 Tablespoon olive oil 1 Tablespoon butter 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced Salt and black pepper 1/4 cup sliced almonds, optional Boil green beans until al dente, approximately 3-5 minutes. Drain beans and plunge in ice water. Cool thoroughly and drain. Cook shallots over medium heat in a large skillet with oil and butter until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Add green beans to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until beans are crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Serve hot and top with crispy shallots and almonds if desired.

Sweet Potato Pie Serves 8

Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin. Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into unbaked pie crust. Bake at 350°F for 55-60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.

Serving Suggestions Potatoes: 1/3 lb per person Fluffy Mashed Potatoes: Russets Creamy Mashed Potatoes: Gold or Red Roasted Potatoes: Fingerlings or German Butterball Sweet Potato Casserole: Garnet Squash: Winter squash absorbs water readily, so steam or roast rather than boil.
