Popeyes’ Cajun Turkey is back just in time for Thanksgiving—and you can get it delivered straight to your door

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and while the thought of a home-cooked feast sounds wonderful, the reality of thawing, seasoning, and roasting a turkey can turn even the calmest cook into a ball of stress. But what if you could skip all the prep and still impress everyone at the table?

Popeyes, known for its bold Southern flavors, is once again offering its fan-favorite holiday turkey—fully cooked, seasoned to perfection, and ready to serve. And yes, you can have it delivered right to your doorstep.

A Louisiana Tradition, Delivered​

For years, Popeyes has been quietly revolutionizing Thanksgiving tables across America with its Cajun-Style Turkey. This isn’t your average bird. It’s an 11- to 13-pound turkey, expertly seasoned with a blend of bold Louisiana spices, pre-cooked to juicy perfection, and ready to heat and serve. If you’re hosting a crowd or just want to treat yourself to something special, this turkey is designed to take the stress out of your holiday prep.

From Popeyes’ Kitchen to Your Table​

Ordering is a breeze. Head to popeyes.com/turkeys to pre-order your Cajun-Style Turkey for delivery or in-store pickup. But don’t dawdle—these birds are first-come, first-served, and they tend to fly off the shelves faster than you can say “pass the gravy.”

Here’s what you get:

• A pre-seasoned, pre-cooked 11- to 13-pound turkey (feeds 8–12 people)
• Delivered frozen (just thaw, heat, and serve)
• Price: $99 for delivery, or as low as $54.99 if you pick up at your local Popeyes

What sets this turkey apart? It’s all about the flavor. Popeyes’ signature Cajun spice blend infuses every bite with a gentle heat and savory depth that’s a far cry from the bland, dry turkey of Thanksgivings past. The result is a bird that’s juicy, tender, and bursting with the kind of flavor that’ll have your guests asking for seconds (and thirds).

Step-by-Step: How to Prepare Your Popeyes Cajun-Style Turkey

Step 1: Thaw Your Bird

• In the fridge: Place the frozen turkey in the refrigerator for 72 hours.
• In cold water: Submerge the turkey in a container of cold water (below 70°F), running the faucet continuously so the water stays cold and fresh. Ensure the turkey is fully submerged throughout the entire cooking time.

Step 2: Heat and Serve

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• Remove all packaging and save the juices.
• Place the turkey on a rack in a large roasting pan, pouring the reserved juices into the pan.
• Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Heat on the lower rack for 90 minutes.
• Remove the foil and continue heating until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (about 30 more minutes). Use a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the breast and check a few spots to be sure.

Step 3: Cool, Carve, and Enjoy

• Let the turkey cool to 70°F before carving (within 2 hours).
• Carve, serve, and enjoy! Don’t forget to refrigerate leftovers promptly for those all-important next-day turkey sandwiches.

Bonus tip: Add your own homemade cranberry sauce, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad to complement the Cajun flavors.
