Turkey was traditionally
viewed as a special event food. So, why not capitalize on this image and
feature turkey at your special events year-round.
During Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas, turkey is an essential part of the menu -- a part of the seasonal celebration your customers look forward to all year long. Add to the excitement of the season with your own special holiday events. Promote special week-long holiday buffets featuring roasted turkey plus other turkey dishes to introduce customers to the variety and versatility of turkey during classic "turkey season." Here's an idea: Offer alternatives to traditional roast turkey with deep-fried turkey, jerk, barbecued and honey-mustard styles. Turkey is equally appropriate for any celebration. Here's a whole calendar full of reasons to celebrate. Superbowl Sunday Buffet. Set up several big screen televisions and an elaborate buffet featuring deep-fried turkey. Valentine's Day.
