Deutscher's Free-Range Heritage Breed Turkeys

$50.00

We will be procuring some of Deutscher’s finest turkeys for “Christmas In July” celebrations. Via pre-order only.

Raised free-range in Victoria’s west, Deutscher’s Turkeys are famed for their flavoursome meat and skin that crisps to a sweet, golden hue thanks to a layer of rich fat just beneath the skin. They are a truly rare breed. While most turkeys come from hybrid lines, Deutscher’s Turkeys are some of the last heritage breeds left in the country, carrying names such as Bourbon Red, Crimson Dawn, and Sweetgrass.

$29/kg.

DEPOSIT REQUIRED AT TIME OF BOOKING.
Invoices for balance will be sent once turkeys arrive. Full payment is required prior to collection or delivery.

Smaller turkeys usually come in around 4-5kg
Medium turkeys 6-8kg
Large turkeys 8-10kg

When placing your order, please advise us of your preferred size bird and we will endeavour to get one in as close to that weight as possible.

Turkeys will be available for collection from Saturday 12th July in-store. Or by delivery from Wednesday 16th July.

*Our free-range whole ducks and whole turkeys are frozen to ensure that they are kept in the best possible condition so please consider this when choosing the date for pick up or delivery. Larger turkeys may take 2-3 days to fully defrost.

Australia’s Best Turkey

by Richard Cornish

It is considered by many to be the best turkey in the nation.

Raised free-range in Victoria’s west, Deutscher’s Turkeys are famed for their flavoursome meat and skin that crisps to a sweet, golden hue thanks to a layer of rich fat just beneath the skin. They are a truly rare breed. While most turkeys come from hybrid lines, Deutscher’s Turkeys are some of the last heritage breeds left in the country, carrying names such as Bourbon Red, Crimson Dawn, and Sweetgrass.

They are raised on pasture beneath the river red gums by a creek in the Grampians region by Daryl Deutscher. He is one of a handful of turkey growers in the country dedicated not only to preserving heritage breeds but also to raising them outdoors, giving them a life as close to their natural environment as possible. Exposure to the cold at night causes the birds to put on an extra layer of fat. When it comes to cooking time, this golden fat naturally bastes the birds as they roast, rendering out and coating the skin. The skin crisps to a deep golden hue while the flesh underneath remains tender and succulent.

Another advantage of Deutscher’s Turkeys is that they are slaughtered on-site in the Grampians, meaning the birds do not suffer stress from being transported hundreds of kilometres for processing.

We are thrilled to have been able to secure some of Daryl’s magnificent turkeys for Christmas 2024 but stocks are strictly limited and available by pre-order only.
