If your local turkey selections look a little sad, you might wonder where everyone is sourcing their Instagram-worthy birds. I’ll give you a hint: it’s not from the supermarket. So what’s the pro secret to snagging a picture-perfect holiday ham or Thanksgiving turkey? A meat delivery service, of course! Not only do these subscriptions offer some of the best butcher cuts in the U.S., but right now, you can get a free Thanksgiving turkey for the holidays through one of our favorite options: ButcherBox.
That’s right! Through November 18 (or while supplies last), you can score your own 10- to 14-pound bird, five pounds of turkey breast or a stunning holiday ham with a new subscription to ButcherBox. And these aren’t just any turkeys, either—they’re free-range, antibiotic- and hormone-free and 100% organic, just like BucherBox’s other meaty offerings.
ButcherBox provides high-quality, humanely raised meat and seafood delivered straight to your door.
ButcherBox is a mail-order subscription service like Good Chop or Snake River Farms. Like many meat subscriptions, they offer a variety of prime cuts, from chicken thighs to beef and Italian sausage. Unlike other services, however, the quality of the cuts isn’t the only focus. Instead, ButcherBox uses high-quality, humanely raised meat and seafood for its plentiful offerings.
All of ButcherBox’s meat comes from farms committed to sustainable agriculture and fair labor practices. This means that each piece of meat is free from hormones or antibiotics. The cuts are shipped directly to your door, ready to be thawed, cooked and enjoyed. Because they’re frozen solid prior to shipping, they arrive just as fresh and delicious as the day they ship.
There are three standard ButcherBoxes to choose from—beef and pork, beef and chicken, and mixed (with beef, chicken and pork). Apart from their myriad subscription offerings—including custom boxes—ButcherBox also offers an assortment of one-time gift boxes that you can ship to loved ones or use to stock your freezer.
In 2024, Taste of Home contributor, former chef and James-Beard award nominee Allison Robicelli reviewed ButcherBox. Her custom ButcherBox included two filet mignons, four boneless pork chops, a flank steak, a whole chicken and a bag of individually frozen salmon filets.
“ButcherBox’s grass-fed filet mignons deliver plenty of big, beefy flavor while also being impossibly tender. They’re cut on the thinner side, so they cook quickly and go from rare to well-done in a matter of seconds,” says Allison. She was equally impressed with her salmon, noting that the filets she received were “stellar, rich and buttery.” As for the pork? Well, let’s just say she was smitten at first bite.
“It’s easy to make boneless pork chops that are dry and underwhelming, and that’s due to the quality of factory-farmed pork,” she notes. “ButcherBox’s humanely raised pork is (literally) an entirely different animal—one that remains juicy and succulent during cooking. With so much flavor, it isn’t necessary to marinate or slather with strongly flavored sauce.”
