Up to $40 off your Thanksgiving turkey
Instacart is releasing up to 50,000 turkey offers November 18–22, 2026. A new batch of up to 10,000 opens each day at 12 p.m. Eastern, while supplies last.
This can cover an eligible turkey’s product price up to $40 when your qualifying basket reaches $50. The turkey counts toward that minimum. You still pay for the rest of your order, applicable fees and taxes, and any turkey cost above $40.

How to get the Instacart turkey offer
- Get your Thanksgiving list ready. Sign into your own Instacart account and select a participating retailer that serves your address.
- Return at noon Eastern on a release day. Open Instacart’s turkey landing page and look for the promotion. Claim or redeem it using Instacart’s instructions while the day’s allocation remains available.
- Build a qualifying $50 basket. Include an eligible fresh or frozen whole turkey. Alcohol does not count toward the minimum.
- Place the order that same day. Check that the turkey discount appears in the checkout total before submitting your order. Review stock, substitutions, fees, taxes and any other charges.
One redemption for the entire November 18–22 offer. These are limited-quantity promotional discounts, rather than drawing entries. Availability can run out, and an unclaimed offer is not guaranteed.
Instacart free turkey release dates
Each announced release begins at noon ET / 11 a.m. CT / 10 a.m. MT / 9 a.m. PT. Instacart says up to 10,000 offers will be released per day, for up to 50,000 across the five days.
- Wednesday, November 18 — noon ET
- Thursday, November 19 — noon ET
- Friday, November 20 — noon ET
- Saturday, November 21 — noon ET
- Sunday, November 22 — noon ET
After you claim an available offer, your order must be placed that same day. The announcement does not provide a separate exact clock-time cutoff, so follow the deadline shown with your offer. Do not wait until a later release day to use a previously claimed discount.
Does “free turkey” mean a free grocery order?
The promotion takes up to $40 off the eligible turkey. If its price is $40 or less, that can cover the turkey’s product price. If it costs more, you pay the difference. The $50 minimum basket and remaining checkout costs still apply.
For example, if an eligible $30 turkey and $20 of other qualifying groceries meet the offer’s terms, a $30 turkey discount would leave $20 in merchandise before applicable fees, taxes and other charges. These are illustrative amounts, not verified store prices.
Build the basket from ingredients you already need. Compare the final checkout total with buying those groceries another way, and check whether a substitution would still qualify before accepting it.
More Thanksgiving savings: $0 delivery fees November 23–25
Instacart also announced $0 delivery fees on Thanksgiving grocery orders of $10 or more November 23–25, while supplies last. That is a separate offer after the turkey-release dates.
Service and other fees still apply. Redeem the delivery promotion once per user and place the order on the same day it is redeemed. Check the applicable exclusions and complete offer terms before ordering.
Get ready for the November 18 launch
Save your grocery list, check the retailer available to your address, and return for a noon Eastern release. The official offer and your checkout determine eligibility and savings; Freebie Mom cannot hold an allocation or place an order for you.
