Cooking a turkey or chicken is no easy task. Some turkeys can take over four hours to cook, and even then, it is tough to cook the whole thing evenly. A new product called turbo trusser (as seen on Shark Tank) has jumped onto the scene, with the promise of making your cooking experience easier and faster. This Turbo Trusser review will cover everything you need to know about the product, and whether it is worth it.
Turbo Trusser
The Turbo Trusser is a versatile tool that makes cooking turkey and chicken much easier. It is also very affordable at a price of $15.
How to use the Turbo Trusser
Luckily, it is really easy to use the Turbo Trusser. First, you put the hooks into the whole on the trusser, so that it looks like this:
Next, place the chicken or turkey’s legs into the leg holders. It should look like this.
Lastly, take both the hooks and stick them into them into the front legs.
Once completed, your turkey or chicken should be fastened in place like this.
If you plan on using a rotisserie, there is a very convenient hole in the Turbo Trusser that you put the pole through.
Time saver
The greatest thing about using the Turbo Trusser is that it saves you a bunch of time. It usually takes a couple minutes trying to tie your turkey with butcher’s twine. It will also help prevent your hands from getting dirty trying to string the turkey.
Also, string can become loose over time, especially as the chicken or turkey thaws out. Luckily, you don’t have to worry about this with the Turbo Trusser, as it holds the meat firmly in place throughout the cooking.
Evenly cooked
Another reason you should use the Turbo Trusser is because it helps evenly cook your turkey or chickens. The device holds the legs up to help the turkey maintain the shape so that it cooks it evenly. It also helps prevent the turkey from drying up.
This is a huge advantage, especially if your used to tying your turkey with butcher’s twine. When you use the string, it doesn’t always hold firmly, which can cause your turkey to lose shape and cook unevenly.
Versatile
Another thing I really like about the Turbo Trusser is that it’s very versatile. It doesn’t matter what you are cooking on, the Turbo Trusser can be used anywhere including grills, ovens, smokers, rotisseries, air fryer.
The Turbo Trusser is made of stainless steel, so you don’t have to worry about it getting burnt or disfigured in the heat. You also don’t have to worry about the steel leaking into the turkey or chicken. It can also easily be handwashed or put in a dishwasher. This makes it a lot more convenient compared to single use butcher’s twine.
It is also versatile in the sense that you can buy one for both a turkey and a chicken. I will say that I wish there was one device that could do both, but maybe they will create that in the future. Some people have said that the turkey one works for duck, but I haven’t tired it yet.
Where can you buy a Turbo Trusser?
There are two main places where you can buy a Turbo Trusser. You can either buy it here on here on amazon, or directly on their site.
While the price is $15 on both sites, I recommend buying it from amazon if you are an amazon prime member. This is because the shipping will be free. The cost of shipping when you buy it directly from the Turbo Trusser website is $5.
Conclusion
All in all, I think the Turbo Trusser is a great buy. It save you a lot of time, and also keeps your turkey or chicken spread out so that it can cook evenly. I am not surprised that the product was so successful on shark tank. If you are interested in any turkey, chicken, or duck recipes, you can find some on the Turbo Trusser website.

Is Turbo Trusser Still In Business and where is Turbo Trusser now?
Turbo Trusser is still in business after taking an investment from Kevin O’Leary. Before the episode aired they had done $100,000 in sales. We imagine that will increase quickly after the buzz generated during the show.
