The slide covers a joint presentation by the NTF and Poultry Board featuring a typically male Broad Breasted White turkey. This early practice evolved into the modern pardon ceremony.
The Turkey Selection Process workflow details four phases: the National Turkey Federation raises and nominates pardon candidates, followed by a Judging Panel evaluating finalists on looks and behavior. The winner is then transported by an Escort Team to the White House, where it is presented and pardoned by the President in a ceremony.
