Perfect for Thanksgiving and of course, any other time of year, Meyer Hatchery's Broad Breasted White Turkeys are the same breed raised by large commercial producers. With the sweet, tender, succulent meat on these birds, you will soon realize why they are called the "Cadillac" of turkeys. Fast growth, good livability, and great feed conversion are some of the highlights of these birds. White feathers give the birds a neater appearance when dressed.
Broad Breasted White Turkeys are typically ready for processing at 16-22 weeks.
Using the chart below, you are able to estimate purchase time based on the weight you would like to process your turkey at. Processed weight will be roughly 15 - 20% less than weights listed below. These weights are an estimate and are provided for your reference. Meyer Hatchery is not able to guarantee exact results due to conditions beyond our control. Weights can vary depending on feed and husbandry.
