Hey kiddo, have you ever heard of a heritage turkey? No? Well, let me explain it to you in a way you'll understand.
You know how there are different kinds of dogs, like big ones and small ones, with different colors and features? It's the same with turkeys! Heritage turkeys are like the OG (that means original) turkey breed that have been around for a long, long time. They're special because they're not like the turkeys you usually see on TV or in cartoons.
Heritage turkeys have feathers that are all different colors and patterns, and they're also bigger and stronger than the turkey you usually eat for Thanksgiving. They don't grow as quickly as other turkeys, so they get to live longer and are able to move around and exercise more. This helps them be healthier and tastier too!
People who want to eat healthier and support local farmers often choose heritage turkeys because they're more natural and raised on small farms. Plus, they taste really good! So the next time you have turkey for dinner, maybe try some heritage turkey and see what you think!
