Each offering new and exclusive benefits for members, there will now be a new tiered structure with three levels – Green, Gold and Reserve.

Members will continue to earn Stars on their purchases and can redeem them for Rewards, including FREE beverages, food and merchandise.

Members can progress to a higher level at any time as they accumulate Stars and status is valid for 12 months. Progress toward the next level can be easily tracked in the Starbucks app or through a member’s Starbucks Rewards account online.

Green Member

Green Members enjoy a FREE beverage or food on their birthday.

They will also receive personalized offers, opportunities to play games (like Starbucks for Life) and enjoy early access to select beverages and food.

Plus, members enjoy a new benefit called Free Mod Mondays — a FREE beverage modification on one select Monday per month.

At the Green level, Stars are valid for six months. However, members can extend the life of their Stars for a month by completing a monthly qualifying activity, such as redeeming a reward, making a purchase or digitally reloading a Starbucks Card.

Members will earn 1 Star per dollar spent.

In addition, members can earn Stars faster by digitally reloading a Starbucks Card — 10 Stars for a $30 or more digital reload and 25 Stars for a digital reload of $50 or more.

Gold Member

Once a member earns 500 Stars in a 12-month period, they will move to Gold status.

In addition to enjoying Green tier benefits, Gold members get enhanced perks – including Stars that never expire and a seven-day window to redeem their FREE Birthday Reward.

Members at this level will earn 1.2 Stars per dollar spent.

Gold members will also receive at least four (4) additional Double Star Days annually.

To maintain Gold status, members must earn 500 Stars during the following year.

Reserve Member

Once a member earns 2,500 Stars in a 12-month period, they will achieve Reserve status – an enhanced membership level with exclusive, premium benefits designed to reward the most loyal customers.

In addition to Green and Gold benefits, members at this level will receive a variety of perks, including a 30-day window to redeem their FREE Birthday Reward and at least six (6) additional Double Star Days annually.

Reserve members will also gain access to exclusive merchandise and curated events.

Members at this level will earn 1.7 Stars per dollar spent.

Pre-seasoned and pre-cooked to perfection, the much-in-demand turkey arrives frozen and ready to simply thaw, heat and serve for your holiday feast. 

Photo: Popeyes

Each turkey is infused with the restaurant’s signature Cajun spices for the perfect kick of flavor to the holiday feast.

However, getting one of the popular birds can be a challenge because they often sell out early. So, now’s the time to secure one before they all fly off the shelves!

The Popeyes Cajun-Style Turkey is usually 11 to 13 pounds and serves 8 to 12 people.

Be sure to cook the turkey by the date printed on the packaging.

Thawing Instructions

Always leave the turkey in sealed plastic during thawing.  It’s extremely important that you do not thaw the turkey at room temperature. If you do not consume the turkey right after thawing, be sure to store it at 40˚F. Do not refreeze the turkey after thawing.

There are two methods for thawing the turkey:

Thawing Method 1

If using Method 1 for thawing, the turkey can be refrigerated for up to five (5) days once thawed. 

Thaw for 72 hours in the refrigerator and heat thoroughly according to heating instructions included. Once thawed, the turkey must be heated and consumed within three days.

Thawing Method 2

 If using Method 2 for thawing, the turkey must be cooked immediately.

Fill a container with cold water (below 70˚F) and continue to run cold water (below 70˚F) over the turkey The faucet should be fully turned on and not trickling to thaw properly.

Make sure the turkey is completely submerged and continuously under running water for the entire thawing process. Do not allow any portion of the turkey to rise above 40˚F, when thawing.

Heating Instructions

Preheat conventional oven to 375˚F. Remove all packaging, but reserving the juices.

Place turkey on a rack in a large roasting pan and pour juices into pan. Cover with aluminum foil to form a tight seal around the edges of the pan.

Heat on lower rack in oven for 90 minutes.

Remove foil and continue to heat uncovered turkey for an additional 30 minutes. Be sure the internal temperature reaches 140˚F as measured by a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast meat (not touching the bone) and at several points around the exterior of the turkey.

Let the turkey stand for 20 minutes before carving.

Cooling Instructions

Cool fully heated turkey from 140˚F to 70˚F within two (2) hours and from 70˚F to 40˚F within a total of six (6) hours.

For easier cooling, the turkey can be placed in a shallow container or cut into smaller pieces.

Save pan drippings for gravy, if desired.

Be sure to promptly refrigerate turkey leftovers and consume within three (3) days.

NOTE: The turkey cannot be refrozen until cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 140˚F.

Find complete cooking instructions here.
