Why We Choose Barber and Red Bird Turkeys
Choosing the right turkey can transform a holiday meal. At Edwards Meats, we believe our customers deserve nothing less than the best, which is why we proudly source our turkeys from Barber and Red Bird. Here’s what makes these brands our top choice for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any festive gathering.
- Exceptional Quality You Can Taste; Barber and Red Bird turkeys are known for their juicy tenderness and rich, natural flavor. These turkeys are carefully raised to ensure they deliver the highest quality meat. Our customers consistently tell us they can taste the difference with Barber and Red Bird turkeys, whether they’re seasoned with traditional herbs or smoked to perfection. By offering these brands, we’re confident that your holiday meal will be a memorable experience for family and friends.
- Quality-Focused Farming and Careful Rearing; Barber and Red Bird turkeys are raised with a focus on quality and attention to detail at every step. From their carefully selected feed to the spacious environments they’re grown in, these turkeys benefit from practices that enhance both flavor and texture. The attention to their natural development produces tender, flavorful meat that is ideal for holiday meals and special gatherings. By partnering with Barber and Red Bird, we’re able to bring you turkeys that deliver the exceptional taste and quality we believe every holiday table deserves.
- Supporting Local and Regional Farms; We love to keep things local whenever possible, and Barber and Red Bird turkeys come from farms dedicated to the agricultural heritage of Colorado and surrounding areas. By offering these brands, Edwards Meats helps to support our local farmers and bring fresh, regional products directly to your table. It’s a way of giving back to our community while ensuring that our customers receive only the finest products.
Tips for Preparing the Perfect Turkey
Once you’ve selected a premium turkey from Barber or Red Bird, it’s time to prepare it to perfection. Here are a few expert tips from the Edwards Meats team:
- Brining for Moisture: Barber and Red Bird turkeys are already moist and flavorful, but a light brine can help keep them juicy during roasting.
- Season Generously: Enhance the natural flavor of these turkeys with a blend of fresh herbs, like rosemary, thyme, and sage.
- Cook to Perfection: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your turkey reaches the recommended internal temperature of 165°F without overcooking.
- Consider Smoking: At Edwards Meats, we love the depth of flavor that smoking adds. Our team can guide you through the best smoking techniques for your Barber or Red Bird turkey, or we can do it for you! Our smoked turkeys are the talk of the town!
