A spokesperson for C Lidgate said: “These Free Range Woodland Bronze Turkeys feed on nettles, wild blackberries and freshly grown oats.
“They are a slow maturing bird for optimum flavour and texture.
“Due to their healthy outdoor existence, they will not look like ordinary hybrid ‘factory’ or mass produced birds.
“The free-range lifestyle results in black feather stubble, which will reduce during cooking and leave a skin renowned for its extra flavour and crispiness.”
