EP 106 How To Choose Your Thanksgiving Turkey For Your Health & The Environment with Paul Kelly of KellyBronze Turkey
The Kelly family are third-generation turkey farmers who have dedicated their lives to breeding the best turkeys in the UK. For 52 years, they have gone against the trend and stuck to century’s old tried and tested practices to produce wild birds with an extraordinary depth of flavor.
This year they celebrate 52 years as Britain’s most awarded turkey. But most importantly, 52 years of providing wild turkey the way we are all meant to enjoy.
Paul Kelly and his family run turkey farms in the UK and in the US, at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountain.
WHAT IS A KELLYBRONZE TURKEY
What is a KellyBronze Turkey? The Kelly family raise Bronze Turkeys that are wild (which is notches above free-range). Left free to run, forage and grow slowly to fully maturity in woodlands across 3 seasons – spring, autumn and winter. Compare this to the average turkey which is grown for 8 weeks, often in commercial barns.
These turkey’s forage for most of their food. They eat acorns, cherries, berries, worms, nettles and pumpkins.
