DescriptionDescription & Details
Our wild turkeys are the real deal, descended from the same breed that has long roamed the American woodlands. Raised in upstate New York in nearly wild conditions, these turkeys forage on native grasses, insects, seeds, and grains, supplemented by alfalfa, hay, and barley. Since wild turkeys rarely grow over 10 pounds they are ideal for smaller gatherings. These unimproved, wild breed turkeys offer less breast meat than their domesticated cousins, but make up for it with lean, dark, flavorful meat that is ideal for game aficionados. This is not your ordinary bird!
Note: Because our wild birds are hand-processed, you may find small pinfeathers in the flesh. They are easy to remove with needle-nose pliers, tweezers, or your fingers.
*Servings based on 1.5 pounds per person.
Also Available:
Organic Turkeys and Heritage Turkeys

Dark meat lovers will rejoice at the rich, lean, and intensely flavored wild turkey meat. As with any game meat, wild turkey requires a little more attention when roasting. Lean meats tend to dry out if over-cooked, which is why traditional recipes for these birds often involve barding and basting.
Since wild turkeys rarely grow over 10 pounds, they are ideal for smaller gatherings. Wild turkey is a perfect match for side dishes with assertive, seasonal flavors and your favorite medium to full-bodied red wine.

Cooking Your D'Artagnan Turkey
