🍗 Broad Breasted White
Turkeys · breed reference
THE supermarket turkey — better than 99 of every 100 raised in America, white-feathered for a clean carcass, and the fastest, cheapest pounds in this list. The same contract as the Cornish Cross broiler: it converts feed like nothing else, and in exchange it cannot mate, fly, or grow old. Hens make a family-oven bird at 14–16 weeks, toms a 35 lb-plus monster by 20.
