To preserve flavor and texture, our smoked products are shipped either fresh or chilled. Since they are shelf stable, we advise sending them by second-day air; upon delivery, simply refrigerate. For this reason, we are in complete control of the meat procurement, seasoning, smoking, vacuum sealing, and delivery of the meat straight to your door. Willie Bird Turkeys’ mission is to provide exceptional quality.

At Willie Bird’s, we only utilize the best chicken available. We wet cure it first in a mild, low-salt marinade made with unique oils and spices, after which it is aged to perfection. Next, we smoke it over natural wood (sweet maple hardwoods). It acquires the richness and flavor profile that have come to define the renowned Willie Bird trademark during this process. We fully cook, promptly cool, and vacuum-seal all of our smoked products to ensure their freshness for at least 6 to 8 weeks. If the product is not used within this time frame, it can be frozen for a maximum of six months.

When it comes to the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving meal, we swear by Willie Bird fresh turkeys. Because they’re shipped fresh, not frozen, the birds roast up golden brown on the outside, moist and tender inside — extraordinarily juicy and flavorful.

Standard birds that are allowed to roam the Sonoma hills and are fed only natural food are called free-range turkeys. In addition to being free-range and fed an organic diet, organic turkeys are brined with herbs and garlic. Because brined birds require less work—and because it can be challenging to locate a large enough vessel for overnight brining—I adore brined birds.
