Order Your Popeyes Cajun Turkey Before They Run Out

Thanksgiving family traditions are a platform for family unity and Popeyes Cajun Turkey is a sure fire way to spice things up for the holidays while bringing the family together.  However this year more than any other it is important to order you Cajun Turkey right away.  Regular readers of this blog know Popeyes Limited Time Offers (LTO’s) over the past two years have and continue run out often and early.  

According to Foodservice Solutions® Grocerant Guru® who recently stated the monthly special LTO’s at Popeyes run out earlier and earlier every month disappointing regular customers, new customers, and wasting precious advertising dollars for franchisees.  Here is the good news the Cajun Turkey is back.

Hector A. Muñoz, Chief Marketing Officer Popeyes stated “We’re once again bringing our signature Louisiana flavor to holiday meals and this year more Popeyes restaurants than ever are offering Cajun Style Turkeys. So come down and get yours before they’re gone.”  Our readers know they mean that.

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen kicks off the holiday season with one of its longest running and most flavorful traditions, Cajun Style Turkeys. Infused with a special blend of Louisiana spices and seasonings, Popeyes Cajun Style Turkeys are flash fried to seal in the unique flavor creating a delicious coating.

Popeye’s Cajun Turkey is our favorite LTO of the year it is consumer interactive and participatory, it expands the brands, drives awareness while creating ‘lifelong’ loyalty.  Even the ‘leftovers’ have become a platform for family unity.  Below is Popeye’s Recipe: Popeye’s Cajun Fried Turkey and Sausage Jambalaya by the way it’s Great!
