Let’s Talk Turkey: A Hands-On Breakdown + Brining Workshop

It’s that time of year when turkey takes center stage but this time, you’ll know exactly how to make it shine.

Join Chef Lachelle Cunningham and Theresa “Cecka” Parks of the Minneapolis Meat Collective for a fun, hands-on turkey breakdown class that will take your holiday game to the next level.

Whether you’re a first-time holiday host or a seasoned cook ready to level up, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Spatchcock, truss, and break down your own bird
✅ Properly season, brine, and prep for the perfect roast
✅ Make the most of every part from gravy to stuffing and stock

You’ll leave with your turkey fully prepped and brined, ready for your holiday table.
