After
months in the pasture, devouring seeds, bugs, and leafy plants, our double-breasted white turkeys are ready to steal the show at your table. Having a diet of pasture forage and a peanut meal feed, theses birds are much more flavorful than the factory turkeys found at grocery stores.
What you’re getting
Fresh, whole pasture-raised turkey, without giblets.
Approx. 8-12 lb
Raw. Frozen. Keep refrigerated or freeze.
Cooking tips
Here are our top
tips for perfect turkey:
Season
or brine the turkey the day before (this is when you’ll receive
your Moving Feast Farm turkey, so the timing is perfect!).
Allow
the turkey to come to room temperature before cooking. This will
take about one hour.
Cover
the turkey breast with butter or raw bacon before cooking, to
protect it from drying out.
Most
importantly: Don’t overcook it! Have an accurate meat thermometer
on hand so you can remove the turkey from the oven when the
temperature reaches 160 degrees; it will reach the recommended 165 while resting, without losing all its moisture. Because this turkey is smaller than most, it will cook more quickly, so be vigilant to start checking it sooner than your recipe tells you.
Plan time for your turkey to rest! Once it’s
out, you’ll want to let your turkey sit for about 30 minutes before carving it. It will hold its heat wonderfully, so let it sit
and look pretty while you finish up your sides.
Like all the animals at Moving Feast Farm, our turkeys spend their lives out in the open pasture, nibbling grasses, seeds, and bugs to their hearts’ content.
We provide
them with a soy-free, peanut-based feed mix, and never give them
antibiotics or other drugs.
