Why folks come back

Clean, wholesome, and full of flavor.

The Turkey House is a one-man-strong food truck with a big idea: good food shouldn’t cost you your health. Everything on the menu is turkey, seasoned and marinated for days, then smoked, grilled or fried fresh for your order.

Our recipes stay secret. Our kitchen doesn’t. We keep it clean, we keep it honest, and we want you to come back and bring a friend.
