Turkey has long been a tradition at family meals and holiday celebrations. But as modern agriculture enabled industrial farms to mass produce turkeys, the birds lose the taste that Mother Nature intended them to have. Our Heritage Black Turkey is different. It tastes like turkey should taste, and that's why we say, "Welcome Back to Flavor®".
Once you are ready to begin preparing your Heritage Black Turkey, remember it can take several days in the refrigerator to fully defrost.
Because of the heritage genetics of our turkeys and the methods used to raise them they are full of natural flavor and only require a little olive oil, salt, and pepper for a delicious meal. However, if you prefer to follow a recipe, we recommend the preparation methods below (brining is optional).
