Bourbon Red Turkey from Kimber's Farm

The Bourbon Red Turkey is named for Bourbon County in Kentucky’s Bluegrass region where it originated in the late 1800’s. I was so excited to find that Kimber's Farm, located in San Marcos, sells the Bourbon Red. A heritage turkey, raised in San Diego county??!!!! Too good to be true? Apparently so. I received a call back from the farm saying that they were closing up shop and didn't have any turkeys this year. When I asked if they knew of any other local suppliers, I was told that they didn't know of any. After hearing this news and feeling like I needed a major tryptophan boost, I called my mother. After laughing at me for being such a food snob, she agreed to find me a suitable turkey that may not have been raised in San Diego but would certainly do just fine for our dinner table without costing hundreds of dollars. Thanks mom!
