Morton's free-range turkeys, ducks, chickens and geese are special. They use traditional birds like Norfolk Blacks and Norfolk Bronzes which are slow to mature but full of flavour. The best things take time, and these birds are no different! They start off as day-old chicks in their “turkey hotel” – a large covered area to keep them protected from the elements. As soon as they’re old enough, they move off into the great outdoors where they’re free to scratch, peck and get into mischief. The young turkeys can often be found in the trees (they’re woodland birds after all!) and it’s this sort of environment that makes them happy and keeps them healthy.
Unlike supermarket birds, Morton's poultry is free to express all their natural behaviours. By having plenty of room and space to roam around they are far less susceptible to disease as well and when the time comes, the birds are dispatched quickly, humanely and in small batches to ensure the animals never get stressed.
Morton's are a small family run farm and have never set out to be the next “super shed” for turkey production. Their aim is to produce small, high-quality batches of poultry that taste the way poultry used to taste. Plenty of flavour, gamey and moist. That’s Morton’s Traditional Taste!
Morton's Traditional Taste have kindly offered one of their free range turkeys to one of my blog readers this Christmas. To be in with a chance of winning this great prize all you need to do is fill in the Rafflecopter widget below. Please note this competition is for UK mainland residents only please.

ReplyDeleteMy stuffing! I made it in a loaf tin, covered with smoked bacon. Lots of sage along with the pork mince. It's really yummy, & because it's really meaty, any leftovers can be put out with the buffet on boxing day! It's freezable when raw, so I make it early december, freeze, then I just defrost & stick in the oven for 40 minutes on the day!
