I have reserved and purchased heritage turkeys from Redemption Springs farm now on 3 different occasions. You just know you’re going to get a superior bird when it has the ability to roam freely in large pastures, eating greens and bugs and basking in the sun as nature intended, as opposed to spending a short, terrible life either stuffed in a cage or simply spending it’s whole life inside an enclosed building, wing to wing in overcrowded and unhealthy conditions. Do the right thing for the animals, for nature, for your neighbors and for yourself – grab a Kentucky Red Bourbon turkey from one of the best small family farms in the state. You’ll never go back! I recommend a nice 12-24 hour brining followed by a low, slow cook in the oven. I’ve even done one for 3 hours in the smoker once prior to the oven cooking and it turned out magnificent! When you’ve enjoyed all the meat you can get off the carcass, hold on to it and make a delicious soup or bone broth out of it as I have done every time.
