Barbecue brings everyone together, especially during the holiday season. While you can’t forget all the fixings, all eyes will be on the main course. That’s where your friends at Sonny’s come in. Whether it’s for Thanksgiving or Christmas, you can count on our Ultimate Holiday Ham & Turkey Guide. It’s the only one you’ll need.



Holiday Ham & Turkey Guide: Why These Meats?

There’s been a long standing tradition with big holiday centerpieces, and turkey and ham usually are the first that come to mind when you think of holiday dinners or lunches. One of the big reasons why: both options feed a lot of people.

Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas are all about bringing people together, and one big smoked ham or turkey should have more than enough meat for a family of any size to enjoy. Plus, that leftover turkey usually tastes even better than next day when piled high on a sandwich. (Psst… don’t forget the Sweet sauce!)
