Locally-Raised. Fairground-Famous. Minnesota-Proud.
Our Legacy
Since 1958, Turkey To Go® has been a cornerstone of the Minnesota State Fair–serving up juicy, locally-grown turkey with speed, flavor, and heart. But behind every sandwich is a legacy far greater than food.
We’re proud to be the official booth of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association (MTGA), representing over 600 independent turkey farms across our state. Minnesota leads the nation in turkey production–and our farmers provide more than $1 billion in economic activity and over 26,000 jobs to local communities. These are families rooted in the land, passionate about raising high-quality, nutritious turkey for yours.
Fairground Fame, Farm-Grown Values
In a sea of fried food and sweet treats, Turkey To Go® made its mark by sticking to what matters–real food, raised right. Our turkey legs are oven-baked, and our sandwich meat is slow-cooked to perfection. We strive to be a healthier option for fairgoers without compromising on flavor.
We were honored to win the State Fair’s first-ever People’s Choice Award for Best Food, and we haven’t slowed down since. After receiving a whole lot of feedback in 2024, we listened, and leveled up–to bring back the juicy Turkey To Go® experience our fans know and love.
We hired professional chefs, perfected our original recipe, and raised the bar on community partnerships by teaming up with proudly Minnesotan, minority-owned business, Nexbakery. Our buns are now top-quality–and yes, the mayo is back (just ask the staff when you order)!
