Mary’s Free-Range Heritage turkeys are based on the first breed of turkeys that existed in the U.S. They breed naturally as well as run and fly! These extra activities result in larger thigh meat, slightly less breast meat, and a superior taste that takes less time to cook than a regular turkey. Heritage turkeys are also air-chilled, which helps to inhibit bacteria growth, keep turkey fresh for longer, and conserve water.
