About National Turkey Lovers Day
When is National Turkey Day? This holiday is celebrated on the third Sunday in June
National Turkey Lovers Day is a special day that just had to be created. When you think about eating delicious turkey, you usually think about Thanksgiving and perhaps Christmas. To millions of Americans, turkey is their favorite meal. Why then, don’t we have it more often on any of the other 364 days of the year? Perhaps, the answer is simple. Perhaps, we just don’t think about it. Then, along comes National Turkey Lovers Day, to remind us to have it in the middle of June.
How do you celebrate National Turkey Lovers Day?
The answer to this question is quite simple. Eat turkey today. The true participant will eat turkey for both lunch and dinner. A turkey sandwich, hot or cold, along with some turkey soup is the perfect lunchtime fare today. For dinner, you have many more options. Chances are the weather will be hot, so you won’t want to heat the kitchen roasting a traditional turkey dinner. We suggest you cook it outdoors: grill it, smoke it, fry it, or try a trash can turkey. Either way, it will be delicious. There is a huge variety of rubs, oils, and sauces you can put on it.
Once you enjoy National Turkey Lovers Day, we hope you have turkey regularly all year round!
