Of all the elements of the Thanksgiving meal, it’s the centerpiece that causes the most anxiety: that dang turkey. Popeyes sells a Thanksgiving turkey that's worthy of your holiday table. All you have to do is thaw it and heat it up.
online and in some of its locations. Popeyes describes it as being marinated “with our signature blend of Louisiana seasoning, slow roasted and then flash fried for a crispy coating.” It arrives frozen in insulated packaging and is sold frozen in stores as well. Instructions tell you to thaw it, then warm it through in the oven before serving.
The price was $94.99, which included shipping, for a 14-pounder that Popeyes said would feed eight to 12 people. That might sound a little steep, but according to a Popeyes representative I spoke to, it’s probably much less for in-store purchases; the prices vary by location, but they start at $49.99. And we figured it was worth a try, since Popeyes knows its way around poultry.
Our bird arrived securely packaged and frozen solid; I let it thaw for three days in the refrigerator. Following the instructions, we baked it, covered in foil, at 375 for an hour and a half, then removed the foil and put it in for an additional 30 minutes. It emerged nicely browned and crisp-skinned, with bits of the rust-red Cajun spice mixture flecking the surface. We probably could have reduced the oven time, since an internal thermometer registered 170, well above the recommended 150.
And the flavor didn’t convince us otherwise: The breast meat was flavorful, with a slight hint of spice and a decent amount of salt. It was a touch dry , but give me a dab of gravy and it was a turkey I would have happily been served. The dark meat of the leg was, unsurprisingly, moister.
