Turkey Lovers’ Month is observed throughout June as a celebration of people who enjoy turkey in its many forms. Sandwiches, turkey legs, ground turkey in tacos or chili, and even a whole turkey baked in June all fit the spirit of the month.
The National Turkey Federation is credited with creating the observance, which has been held in June since 1990. Its purpose is to celebrate turkey lovers and encourage turkey sales during a period when they are generally lower. The exact date of its creation is unclear.
