Devotion in Every Detail: The People Behind Turkey To Go®

Behind every juicy turkey sandwich is a team of devoted humans who make it all happen. This isn’t just a seasonal gig for us—it’s a year-round mission powered by passion, precision, and relentless collaboration.

At Turkey To Go®, the work starts long before the fairgrounds open and continues long after the lights go down. In the cold winter months, our team is already planning. Strategy sessions. Branding discussions. Collaborative calls with turkey suppliers and partners. We map out menus, refine operations, and forecast demand. We go back and forth with the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association, with our partners at Turkey Valley Farms, Ferndale Market, and Northern Pride—making sure every piece of the puzzle fits together perfectly. It’s thoughtful. It’s intentional. And it’s all driven by one purpose: to create the best fair experience we possibly can.

We are high-end, unafraid marketers who take risks, push boundaries, and pour creative energy into every detail—from web design to social media to the engagement with our loyal fans and media. Nothing happens by accident. If it looks effortless, it’s because we’ve spent months making sure it is.

But no planning, no vision, no recipe matters without the people on the ground.

Our staff is our soul. These are the folks who show up before the sun, who camp on-site in RVs, who pull on aprons and hats and sweat through 90° days without complaint. They man the ovens. They keep the line moving. They handle the nonstop flow of fairgoers, manage thousands of transactions, and greet every single customer with patience, humor, and a genuine smile.

They are the ones who turn chaos into connection. Who make the booth feel less like a food stop and more like a slice of something familiar. Something warm. Something Minnesotan.

This kind of devotion can’t be faked. It’s in the way a cashier keeps the line light with conversation. It’s in the way a team member shares a laugh with a returning customer. It’s in the quiet tenacity of a team that believes good food and good service should go hand in hand.

What we do is more than serve sandwiches and turkey legs. We create moments. We support local agriculture. We build community. We work hand in hand with partners who care as deeply as we do about quality, sustainability, and impact.

So when you stop by our booth, know that behind the turkey is a team of people who show up for you. Year after year. Bite after bite.

This is what devotion tastes like. And we’re honored to serve it. And we love it.
