The original Black Spanish turkey made the voyage to the Americas with early
European colonists. Once here, the variety was crossed with Eastern wild
turkeys, which formed the basis for the Black turkey variety in America,
named for its lustrous, metallic black plumage. Up until the early 1900s,
Blacks were bred in large numbers along the East Coast, their popularity
enhanced by selection for a calm disposition, rapid growth, and early
maturation. The Standard weight is 23 pounds for young toms and 14 pounds
for young hens. Heritage turkeys like the Black are known for their
exceptional flavor and texture.
