Just to give you a bit more info about our birds, we’ve added a few important Q&As about how we prepare them…
Dry plucking is the method of removing a turkey’s feathers without scalding the bird in hot water. Instead of dipping the turkey in water to loosen the feathers, they are manually pulled out right after the bird is slaughtered. This traditional technique is preferred by many for its ability to preserve the turkey’s natural flavour and texture.
Herb Fed follows a meticulous process to dry pluck their turkeys, ensuring a clean, feather-free bird with optimal texture and flavour. Here are Edward’s 5 steps to the perfect dry-plucked turkey:
By using the dry plucking method, Herb Fed ensures a higher-quality turkey that tastes better, cooks more evenly, and stores well, making it the ideal choice for your Christmas dinner.
