Availability: From 19th November 2020Our traditional strains of bronze turkeys are slow-reared for around twice the length of time as commercial turkeys. They arrive from Kelly Bronze’s Farmgate Hatcheries as day-old poults and are naturally grown to a maturity of 6 months.
Our turkeys spend a greater amount of time free-ranging and foraging on pesticide-free grassy pastures, which allows them to put down a nice layer of natural fat. They develop a deep, rich flavour and succulent texture due to the marbling of the meat. So never again will you experience dry turkey!

Guild of Fine Foods Great Taste 1 Star Winner, 2020 judges comments:
A generously sized bird, sitting gold and proud on the platter, with a well bronzed skin and a very good aroma. The dark meat has a rich stickiness – almost a belly pork character – which we enjoyed. This is a good all round turkey – each part, the white meat, the dark meat and the skin – all carrying character to provide a decent mouthful of turkey.
Here are our serving suggestions to help you decide which turkey breast size is right for your celebration.
Remember, our bronze turkey tastes so good cold the next day accompanied by our homemade Leicestershire pie, so why not go big this year?
1.25kg – feeds 4 people
2.25kg – feeds 8 people
Easily roast you turkey to perfection with our pop–up timer and cooking instructions included in the box.
Grown slowly, naturally and happily.
Like our chickens, our bronze turkeys are reared under heat lamps from day-old until they reach 4 weeks. At this age, they are given a large grassy paddock to roam in and have a large straw-bedded barn that we construct perches in, so they can roost as if they are in a tree.
Our turkeys have a large straw-bedded barn that we construct perches in, so they can roost as if they are in a tree. We keep them in small flocks to promote natural behaviour and feed them on an additive-free cereal from the local mill, with plenty of oats on top from the farm next door for a great finish. Our feed is TFF approved, additive-free and promotes natural, slow growing.
