Blackwing Turkeys are a testament to tradition, purity, and the preservation of heritage. Raised by Amish growers in Northern Indiana, we prioritize quality and the rich tradition of sustainable turkey farming.
Freedom & Flavor: In a world where less than 3% of turkey farms offer open pastures, Blackwing Turkeys stand apart. We believe that our birds deserve the freedom to roam, resulting in unmatched tenderness and a lean 2.5g of fat per 4 oz serving. With us, you can savor the true taste of freedom in every bite.
Unmatched Freshness: Blackwing Turkeys are not just turkey; they are a promise of unmatched freshness. Harvested at the peak of perfection, our turkeys offer the freshest taste imaginable. We understand that freshness matters, and we deliver it to your table with every succulent serving.

Refrigerator Thawing:
Cold Water Thawing:
Additionally, it's recommended to check on your turkey 24-36 hours ahead of your planned cooking time. If the turkey is still partially frozen on the outside, you can take it out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for up to 6 hours before cooking, checking it hourly to ensure it remains cool to the touch but not frozen.
Once fully thawed, your turkey can be kept in the refrigerator for an additional 1-2 days before cooking. This information is valuable for ensuring food safety and a successful Thanksgiving or holiday meal.
Q: When does the Blackwing Pre-Sale Discount end?
A: October 31st 2022
Q: How long does a thawed turkey keep in the fridge?
A: Thawed turkeys should be cooked within 1-2 days from being fully thawed.
Q: When will my pre-order turkey be delivered?
Pre-ordered turkeys will ship the week of November 14th with plenty of time to thaw before the big day.
Q: How long does it take to thaw a turkey?
A: We recommend thawing your turkey for at least 24 hours in the fridge for every 3 pounds of turkey.
Q: What size turkey should I get for Thanksgiving?
A: We recommend 1 to 1.5 pounds per person (1.5 should ensure leftovers).
Q: How long does it take to cook a pasture raised turkey?
A: We recommend 20 minutes per pound of turkey, but use an oven thermometer as pasture raised turkeys can cook faster (15-18 minutes per pound). A low cooking temperature at 325°F will do the trick. Use a cooking thermometer to make sure your turkey is at 165°.
Q: Do your turkeys include giblets?
A: Yes, each whole turkey includes a bag of giblets (including a heart, liver, and gizzard) and a neck, which you’ll find in the neck cavity.
Q: Are Blackwing Turkeys brined or basted?
A: No, our turkeys are not brined or basted. They do not contain any added salt, water, or fillers of any kind so they are perfect to brine. We don’t add any competing flavors to your holiday traditions, just 100% turkey.
Q: How do I brine a turkey?
A: The basic wet brine is one cup of coarse kosher salt or sea salt to one gallon of water, making enough to submerge the bird. We recommend not brining for longer than 12 hours. Herbs, fruits, and seasonings are all great additions to brines so be sure to customize to your tastes!
Q: Can I stack other promotions with the pre-order of a turkey?
You cannot combine other promotions with the pre-order of a pasture-raised turkey.
