Free range turkey in Ireland: what Woodland Bronze means

Woodland rearing and the Bronze flavour.

Woodland reared at Charlesfort

Our Woodland Bronze turkeys are free to roam and forage in woodland on the farm for up to six months. That slower pace and outdoor life is what people mean when they ask for a free range Irish turkey with character.

Flavour and texture

Bronze meat tends to taste deeper and feel firmer than a barn reared White bird. If you already like gamey notes, Bronze is usually the better match. If your table prefers a milder roast, start with Charlesfort White.

Cuts available

Woodland Bronze is offered as a whole bird, crown, boneless breast and boned and rolled joint. Whole Bronze birds also come with complimentary cranberry.

Planning the order

Bronze bands can fill early because demand is strong for free range birds. Order once pre-orders open, and use the serving guide if you are unsure between two weights.
