In the US turkey is the most common main dish of a Thanksgiving dinner. The domestic turkey eaten now is very different from the wild turkey known to the Pilgrims. Wild turkeys are native to the Americas and there are at least five subspecies that are still found there. The domesticated bronze turkeys grown for us by Philip Hunter, who also grows our geese,  are as close to the wild turkey as it is possible to find.  Thanksgiving is being celebrated on the 27th of November this year.  The history of Thanksgiving in the USA dates back to 1621 when the Pilgrims first celebrated the season’s bountiful harvest. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday.

Our free-range Bronze turkeys are slightly smaller and slower growing than white turkeys and, as a result, are a little more expensive.  However, the later maturity of these breeds does offer a richer flavour.

Size, Storage and Cooking Guidance:
Fresh turkeys are best stored at 4°C or below.
