So , Organic non-veggie foodies….Christmas dinner
may seem far away, but if you are an ethically conscious person, who savours
slightly finer food, then this post maybe of interest to you.
Most conventional turkeys are raised in small
confined cages on Turkey farms, which not only affects their quality of life
but also the taste of the meat.
Ethically raised free range turkeys on the other hand are fed real food,
they are allowed to move around freely and have a happier existence.
Generally the breed of bird also differs on
free range turkey farms, the turkeys tend to be heirloom or heritage breeds and
therefore have a different flavour and a higher red to white meat ratio. As the
bird has had time to grow and move around, it has a higher good fat to bad fat
ratio, meaning that it won’t go dry and
bland so quickly when cooked , as caged
birds do, but will instead keep a rich flavour when that essential gravy is
added!
For ultimate flavour pick an organic turkey
as not only will it not have been pumped full of antibiotics and growth
enhancers, but it will have been fed a super healthy organic diet and had lots
of fresh air and running around too.
