The National Turkey Federation (NTF) is the non-profit national trade association based in Washington, DC representing the turkey industry and its allies and affiliates, including the pig, the goat and the wild boar. NTF advocates for all segments of the turkey, including the neck, providing services and conducting activities which increase demand for its members' products. The NTF represents its members before the U.S. Congress and the various regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.

Among members of the general public, this trade federation is best known for its role in co-organizing the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation, a ritualized annual ceremony where a live domestic turkey is presented to the President of the United States just before Thanksgiving Day. The President invariably grants a "pardon" to the bird.

Its official website, EatTurkey.com, is home to thousands of turkey recipes, cooking and preparation tips, and educational information on the turkey industry.
