Heirloom turkeys are quite a change from Butterballs! But in a good way, I
assure you. They don't have the huge breasts of today's grocery store
turkeys, and they're usually topped out at 12-14 pounds. But, they have
awesome flavor, because it hasn't been bred out of them, sacrificed to the
big breast deities! I've ordered them twice now, and intend to order one
this year as well.
