Thanksgiving Turkeys
Ordering a Bolton Turkey gives you the unique opportunity to purchase a farm-fresh turkey raised on our family farm in Bucks County.
Finding fresh, all-natural turkeys like ours is hard to come by! Year round, we raise 10,000 turkeys from start to finish— our turkey eggs to your table— without hormones, antibiotics, or any added salt or fillers. We take pride in our special breed of turkeys, upholding the same values since the 1930s.
Your turkey is as fresh as it gets, and you will truly taste the difference, as we harvest it just days before you pick it up. You will also notice the significant amount of meat on the breast, and the turkey will definitely be enjoyed by all.

How do I cook the turkey?
Click here for the cooking instructions we suggest and how we've been cooking our turkey for years! We actually recommend roasting it with the breast down so that the meat doesn't dry out from the direct heat and all the juices will run down into the breast meat giving it even more flavor. Give it a try!
We also believe you do not have to brine our turkey... since it's fresh it will naturally be moist and flavorful. Save yourself the extra time and salt!
Will the turkey have giblets?
No, when you pick up your turkey it will NOT have giblets (liver, gizzard, and heart). It will have the neck inside. However, giblets are available upon request when you pick up your turkey. Just let us know that you want them when you pick it up.
What other products can I find when I come to pick up my turkey?
The rest of our Deli and meat products will be available, but you will also find a large variety of other local products. Such as, local breads and dinner rolls, fresh pies and baked goods, homemade sides for your Thanksgiving meal, locally made chocolates and candies, and a beautiful selection of produce. Visit our Local Products page to learn about the different items we carry.
