About Michigan Turkey Producers
In the early 1900’s, a few Michigan farmers and their families began raising turkeys. They found that the temperate climate and rich land of Allegan, Ottawa, Kent and Barry counties produced a bigger and healthier bird. As word of these great turkeys spread, more families started raising turkeys on their Michigan farms.
Today, these family farms are still in operation. They have been handed down from generation to generation, and they are continuing to produce better turkeys. The proud growers of Michigan Turkey Producers are committed to quality and value from their farms to your table.
Our raw processing plant is designed to meet sanitary and safety standards that far exceed most raw turkey facilities. In fact, the plant more closely resembles a further processor’s facility. For example, all of the walls and ceilings are covered in stainless steel so the entire plant can be easily and regularly sanitized.
Michigan Turkey Producers has developed a controlled-atmosphere stunning system for use in our raw plant. Besides being more humane, this proprietary process significantly improves the quality of our meat by reducing blood spots and bruising.
Michigan Turkey Producers offers a wide variety of both raw and cooked turkey products, from ready-to-cook whole breasts and turkey sausage to pre-sliced, oven-roasted and pan-roasted turkey. Try any of them and taste the Michigan Turkey Producers difference for yourself.
