🦃 Bourbon Red
Turkeys · breed reference
Bourbon County, Kentucky, 1800s — chestnut-red with white wing and tail feathers, and the heritage breed most often praised for FLAVOUR. The slow-food revival that saved heritage turkeys after 2000 was largely ridden on this bird's back. A strong forager that will feed itself off range better than most.
