These turkey legs are a fantastic addition to any celebration and you can prepare them in a variety of ways - such as roasting them, smoking them, or frying them. Since these legs have the skin still on, we recommend cooking them in simmering water first for just a few minutes, and then moving them into the oven for the final touch to get them brown and crispy. If you prefer dark meat over light meat, turkey leg is what you are looking for. Turkey meat is known for its high protein low-fat values. If you are looking for the highest quality of free-range turkey - you've come to the right place.
New Zealand free-range, and open pasture-raised white turkey - probably the first in Japan. The free-range turkeys spend their days roaming around fresh green paddocks, pecking and nibbling away as they explore the farm as nature intended. At night the turkeys are moved into the sheds to prevent exposure to harsh weather conditions and protect them from predators. It goes without saying that the birds were never treated with antibiotics or growth hormones. Compared to factory-farmed conventional turkeys, our turkeys are raised for 3 weeks longer.
✔ Open pasture-raised on fresh green paddocks pecking and nibbling away as they explore the farm.
✔ Allowed to freely forage on open pasture and exhibit natural behavior. The shelter provides protection from the elements which they can enter during the night.
✔ Certified free-range by FREPNZ (Free Range Egg and Poultry New Zealand).
✔ No use of antibiotics or growth-promoting hormones - ever
✔ One farm, one family, one importer - traceability from farm to fork.
✔ Naturally slow-grown. Meat is better formed, of much higher quality and superior taste.
✔ No factory farming! The Canter Valley farm is a real family business. Strictly non-commodity produce.
✔ The happiest, healthiest, and tastiest Turkey available - taste the difference.
