Fresh organic whole young tom turkey sold by the pound at Costco. Tom turkeys are male birds, typically weighing between 16 and 22 pounds, making them ideal for feeding larger gatherings. This turkey is USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, raised without antibiotics, contains no added hormones, and is fed a vegetarian diet. It is also gluten free, raw, and uncooked.

This is a fresh, never frozen turkey available seasonally around Thanksgiving. The brand varies by region and may include Pitman Farms, Norbest, Plainville Farms, or Foster Farms, though all meet the same organic certification standards. Costco typically prices organic whole turkeys at $2.99 per pound. A 16-pound tom turkey comes to approximately $47.84, while a 20-pound bird runs about $59.80.

For best results, plan on 1.25 to 1.5 pounds per person to ensure plenty of servings plus leftovers. Fresh turkeys from Costco typically have sell-by dates a few days past Thanksgiving, so purchasing a week or more in advance is safe.
