Antibiotic-Free Turkey

Mary’s Antibiotic-Free Turkeys are raised on a high-protein diet, which provides the optimal amount of nutrients for the turkey to grow. Mary’s Natural Turkeys are free of antibiotics, animal byproducts, hormones, preservatives, and additives. These turkeys are a flavorful and beautiful centerpiece for your holiday table.
Organic Turkey
Mary’s
Mary’s Organic Turkeys are fed a premium diet of USDA certified organic ingredients and are free of antibiotics, animal byproducts, hormones, preservatives, and additives. Certified organic turkeys easily roast for moist and delectable dark and light meat. Organic turkeys are always delicious and cook lovely.
Heritage Turkey
Mary’s
Mary’s Heritage turkeys resemble the first breed of turkeys that existed in the United States. They breed naturally as they run and fly on the farm. Their increased level of activity results in larger thigh meat and slightly less breast meat than is found on a typical turkey. All of these traits, along with an air chilling packing process, result in a superior tasting turkey that cooks faster than other birds. Heritage turkeys are free of antibiotics, animal byproducts, hormones, preservatives, and additives. Heritage turkeys have a rich, satisfying taste, and tender, moist meat. If you prefer dark meat, you will love the flavor of a heritage turkey.
