This year, Jennie-O has been busy inspiring consumers with a new advertising campaign, a partnership with esteemed chef, cookbook author and beloved TV personality Carla Hall, honoring school cafeteria staff around the country and so much more to come!
This fall, the JENNIE-O® brand launched its "Queen of Protein" campaign to showcase the protein that reigns supreme — turkey. As part of an ongoing effort to provide meal prep ease, the brand activated a theme for each month on its social media accounts to share delicious recipes paired with a shopping list for maximum convenience.
In partnership with Hall, Jennie-O will honor school cafeteria staff throughout the country by hosting School Cafeteria Takeovers in select cities over the next several months. Jennie-O also will give four schools nominated by students and staff a donation of $25,000 to help fulfill kitchen wish lists around the country.
After Nov. 14, visit JennieO.com for Hall's perfect turkey brine and preparation recipe for JENNIE-O® Tender & Young Turkey and her spicy gremolata for JENNIE-O® Tender & Juicy Turkey Breast in time for Thanksgiving.
Finally, the Jennie-O® brand will be a part of the iconic Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for the third year in a row with the beloved turkey float.
