Golden Turkey - Not Just for Christmas

Golden Turkeys are produced by an association of like-minded farmers (Step forward The Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association) spanning the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland. 

To promote the versatility of turkey meat, the farms have been working with award-winning chef Rachel Green to develop six new recipes. 

By popular demand, she has produced two recipes using turkey drummers to create recipes for the upcoming BBQ season, and even one for air-fryer fans too.

BBQ Tandoori Turkey Legs with Minted Yoghurt and Air Fryer Sticky Maple Syrup and Harissa Turkey Drummers. 

Chef Rachel has also created four new recipes for the Christmas season, and these will be released over the coming months to prepare your tastebuds for the season of turkey and tinsel!

As with any food, customers require re-assurance on provenance, and of course, it all starts with the producer; turkey farming is no different. The trust in the Golden Turkey brand is provided with the Golden Turkey Quality Assurance Guarantee stamp, this gives a nod to the Accredited Farmers who put the welfare of the birds they breed and rear at the heart of their family farms. The journey from the farm to the fork is strictly regulated and must be of the highest quality.

Golden Turkeys live outside and spend the summer months roaming freely on the farms, eating a natural diet of cereals, foraging on meadow grass and depending on where they live, even cider apples. They get good exercise and have no end of socialising and stimulation.

Turkey isn't just for Christmas, today many people are making turkey a part of their regular diet. It's an excellent source of protein and provides essential vitamins like B vitamins (B3, B6, B12) and minerals like iron, zinc, potassium, and selenium. When prepared healthily it offers a balanced diet and contributes to overall well-being.

Celebrating 40 Years of Delivering the Taste of Christmas: The Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association

As the festive season approaches, there's a tradition that spans four decades in the United Kingdom, bringing joy and flavour to countless Christmas dinners: the Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association (TFTA). 

Established 40 years ago, this association has been at the heart of preserving and promoting the quintessential British Christmas turkey experience.

A Rich Heritage

Founded in 1984, the TFTA was born out of a commitment to uphold traditional farming methods and ensure the highest standards of turkey production. 

Over the years, it has become synonymous with quality, taste, and sustainability in the poultry industry. The association represents farmers across the UK who are dedicated to rearing turkeys with care, ensuring they roam freely and are fed on natural diets, resulting in superior taste and texture.

Quality Assured

Central to the TFTA's ethos is its Quality Assurance Scheme, which guarantees that every turkey carrying the TFTA logo meets rigorous standards of production. From free-range living conditions to careful processing, each step is meticulously monitored to ensure that consumers receive only the finest turkeys for their Christmas tables. This dedication to quality has earned the TFTA the trust and loyalty of both consumers and retailers nationwide.

Supporting Local Farmers

Beyond delivering exceptional turkeys, the TFTA plays a vital role in supporting local farmers and rural communities. By championing traditional farming practices and promoting sustainable agriculture, the association contributes to the preservation of rural livelihoods and the countryside's cultural heritage. This commitment resonates with consumers who value traceability and ethical food choices.

Adapting to Modern Times

While rooted in tradition, the TFTA has also adapted to meet the challenges of modern times. Innovations in farming techniques and consumer preferences have been embraced without compromising on the core values of animal welfare and taste. This adaptability ensures that the association remains relevant and resilient in a dynamic market environment.

Celebrating Milestones

As the Traditional Farmfresh Turkey Association celebrates its 40th anniversary, it marks a significant milestone in its journey. The occasion is not just about longevity but also about celebrating the dedication of farmers, the support of consumers, and the enduring appeal of a truly British Christmas tradition.

Looking to the Future

Looking ahead, the TFTA remains committed to its mission of delivering the taste of Christmas to tables across the UK. With a renewed focus on sustainability, innovation, and consumer satisfaction, the association is poised to continue its legacy for generations to come.
