Heritage: Perfect for foodies, these descendants of the original American turkey have a richer taste and more dark meat.
Organic: These turkeys eat only certified USDA organic food, making them the highest quality at an Always Affordable Price^SM.
Non-GMO: Like all of Mary’s Turkeys, this variety is Non-GMO Project Verified and the best value around for exceptional quality.
Brined: Simplify Thanksgiving prep time with this turkey, which comes already brined with a mix of sugar, salt, and thyme.
Organic Pre-Cooked Oven Roasted: New this year! The perfect choice for hosts who want to skip the mess and save time.
Organic Bone-In Breast: Having a small gathering and don’t want to deal with a whole turkey? The bone-in breast option is the way to go.
