The Bourbon Red Turkey is a heritage bird that has not been cross-bred to enhance its size.
The Bourbon Red takes longer to grow and is a smaller, leaner bird with darker meat, but there is still enough white meat to satisfy everyone. Despite its leaner disposition, the Red Bourbon turkey does not have a gamy taste, but does, in some inexplicable way, taste better.
Bourbon Red Turkeys average 7 to 15 pounds in weight.
