Getinge’s move to the modern Innovation Park is “squarely consistent” with the Township vision for this complex, Mironov said.

“We are proud to have Getinge join other Route 571 corridor high-tech and pharmaceutical-related corporations, including Shiseido America, Aurobindo Pharma, QTS and ForDoz Pharma,” Mironov said.

“East Windsor’s strategic prime location in central New Jersey mid-way between New York and Philadelphia, excellent access to major transportation networks, availability of highly skilled labor and hands-on business-friendly local government environment have contributed to the Township success.”

Also present during the announcement were Council Members Denise Daniels, Anthony Katawick, David Russell and John Zoller, along with Frank Kozar, Getinge Vice President of Logistics Americas and Jim Murray, Ares Industrial Management Managing Director/US Development.

“At Getinge, we are committed to providing medical devices that save lives and are excited to open our new center in East Windsor," Kozar said.

“The location and size of the facility fit our business needs and we already feel very welcomed by the Township Mayor and leadership.”

The newly constructed Innovation Park is located on 86.97 acres formerly occupied by McGraw Hill and comprised of two buildings. It is designed to attract innovative high-tech and pharmaceutical-related businesses.

“As the owner and landlord of Innovation Business Park, we are pleased to welcome Getinge to the Park with a full building lease. Tenant Improvements are underway and we anticipate Getinge beginning occupancy by year-end,” Murray said.

“This is a great fit for the Park and the Township and we look forward to continuing to work with Mayor Mironov and the Township in bringing another first-class business to the second building in the development.”

Innovation Park incorporates modern architectural features and extensive outdoor public green spaces, landscaping with ornamental and evergreen trees, benches and other amenities, and a walking pathway.

Turkeys live happy and happy lives at Lee Turkey Farm in East Windsor, says owner Ronny Lee.

And then they have one bad day.

Since Lee was in third grade, he’s raised and processed 54,000 turkeys for Thanksgiving tables at the nation’s oldest continuously running processing plant at his family farm. Lee's great-great-great-grandfather purchased it in 1868 — and about 80 years ago, the farm began concentrating on turkeys.

For days now, Lee has been readying his 3,000-bird flock for what amounts to the farm's Super Bowl. It takes a lot of work, as he sometimes is out from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. without lunch breaks.

“You eat a lot of Hershey bars,” he said.

On Monday, Nov. 20, and Tuesday, Nov. 21, people will line up to pick up turkeys, ranging from 13 to 30 pounds. One hundred turkeys are sold every hour and the line can stretch to the street.

Customers can visit the farm anytime between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on those days to purchase fresh turkeys for $4.69 per pound, or frozen turkeys for $4.29 per pound, all on a first-come, first-serve basis.

“I’ve never had to send anyone home without a turkey,” Lee said.

Despite their morbid end, the turkeys’ 11- to 21-week lives are happy and healthy, Lee said.

After hatching and growing to a month old, turkeys live in a 10,000-square-foot open-faced barns with constant natural light and air circulation, Lee said.

“Turkeys aren’t like people,” Lee said. “They don’t need space, privacy or vacations. They just like to eat, drink and hang out with their friends.”

Lee’s turkeys live for 11 to 21 weeks, eating a homemade feed mix with a corn and soybean base.

“Their flavor depends a lot of what they eat,” Lee said. “There is all this talk about grass feed, but with corn feed, you get a nice, moist and juicy bird. The flavor is incredible."

Lee can tell that his turkeys, which are raised without antibiotics or hormones, are happy because they’re not missing feathers. When turkeys are upset, they pick at each other.

The bad day

Here's how the turkeys go from the farm to your table:

To "process" the birds, their throats are cut while leaving the heads on, which stops them from flailing and hurting themselves.

“They die very peacefully in only about 30 seconds, before they even realize what happened to them,” Lee said.

Then, they are put in a scalder at 140 degrees for 45 seconds, which loosens their feathers. Another machine helps remove nearly all their feathers in another 45 seconds. It takes only 14 minutes to process 60 turkeys, Lee said.

Finally, Lee and his team hand-pluck out the few remaining feathers before the turkeys are cleaned and eviscerated.

Lee isn’t crying into his gravy bowl on "processing day."

“Turkeys aren’t soft and cuddly,” he said. “They’re actually mean.”

If turkeys see an injured turkey, they will want to gang up and attack it. If a turkey is injured, Lee gets it out of the area right away into a separate space he calls his “turkey hospital."

"I have no sympathy on processing day, but I treat them really nicely until then,” Lee said.

Aging or freezing the meat

After the turkeys are processed, they are put into a fridge for at least two days, which ages the meat and keeps it tender and its texture ideal, Lee said.

“Today’s modern growers don’t age the meat properly,” Lee said. “This idea of killing it and eating it the same day? No. You need to wait at least two days for the best quality.”

Then the turkeys are flash-frozen, which means they’re frozen quickly at -10 degrees, preserving the meat and its juicy qualities.

“If you’re not going to eat it fresh and you need to freeze it, freezing does not hurt anything if it’s done right,” Lee said.

His frozen turkeys taste exactly like his fresh turkeys, Lee said. The only reason the frozen turkeys are cheaper, he added, is because he’s under less pressure to have them ready by a certain date.

Lee sells white turkeys, not heritage turkeys.

“They’re heritage for a reason — they came out with better varieties and left them in the dust,” Lee said. “It’s like a Model T. Everyone wishes they could go back to the Model T until you get in it and you find it has no power steering, heat, air conditioning or suspension. Turkeys are the same way. They’ve improved them over the years.”
