The National Turkey Federation (NTF) is the national advocate for America’s turkey industry, representing the people and businesses involved in bringing turkey from farms to consumers. For more than 80 years, it has worked to raise awareness of its members’ products and strengthen their ability to deliver wholesome, high-quality, nutritious turkey safely and profitably. Its membership spans growers, processors, hatchers, breeders, distributors, allied service providers, and state associations.

NTF provides information about turkey farming, animal welfare, industry trends, food safety, nutrition, and environmental stewardship. Its consumer resources include recipes and practical guidance for preparing turkey, from everyday meals to Thanksgiving, grilling, and barbecue. Recipes feature a range of products, including ground turkey, deli turkey, turkey hot dogs, and boneless breast, reflecting the industry’s diverse offerings of sausages, burgers, and deli meats, as well as whole turkey.

The federation also shares industry news, annual reports, and press releases, and promotes events such as the Turkey Smoke barbecue competition.
