The Topsy Turkey/Choice Chicken Roasting frame came about after Inventor/Entrepreneur, Janet Rickstrew decided to eat healthier, but was frustrated that the healthiest part of turkey and chicken—the white meat—was often dry and not very tasty. She tested cooking birds with the breast down, instead of up, letting the juices flow into the meat rather than out of it. Needless to say, the results were dramatic, so she designed and patented a frame that holds the bird in the right position for ideal grilling and roasting.
