Cargill Meat Solutions introduces a NEW TNT™ Turkey Patty made with Honeysuckle White™ turkey that delivers all the outstanding benefits of their successful TNT™ Burger. Using a proprietary recipe and process that locks in moisture, the new turkey patty provides operators with an exceptional on-trend menu item that delivers consistent flavor, tenderness and juiciness every time. Typical turkey burgers tend to be dry and don't retain moisture when held in warming containers, making them even blander. TNT Turkey Patties deliver a fresh-off-the-grill taste that stays moist and juicy even after holding 3 hours on a steam table or overcooking. The hearty turkey patty is made using the premium Honeysuckle White™ turkey brand that's extremely popular for its great taste and tenderness. Our oven-roasted and oil-browned turkey delivers succulent flavor and is moist and tender - superior quality turkey.

In taste tests, the new TNT Turkey Patty made with Honeysuckle White™ turkey was very well received with consumers claiming it was "the best turkey patty". Others declared "excellent taste" and "really juicy and tender". This turkey burger is unparalleled for its taste, juiciness and hold time in the foodservice industry.

Turkey is taking flight. The National Turkey Federation (NTF) announced a 7.3 percent increase in turkey sales to the foodservice market for the first half of 2003. According to NTF's annual member survey, the increase continues a five-year growth pattern in the foodservice sector for the $8 billion U.S. turkey industry. "The time is right for turkey," comments Sherrie Rosenblatt, NTF's senior director of public relations. "It's an American favorite with a healthful profile ideal for today's trends. Turkey's mild flavor profile complements a breadth of ethnic cuisines and its versatility succeeds in growing menu categories like custom-made sandwiches and entrée salads."
