We offer a full line of natural and organic turkey and turkey products made exclusively from our Diestel Family of Turkeys and easily found in your fine grocer's meat, deli, cheese and prepared foods departments.


Since we grow our birds longer – they develop into broad breasted birds with superior yield (i.e. lots of white meat) and superb flavor. Due to this extra growing time the following weights are available for our hens and toms. We are so proud of their size that we label them on the bag as "Hen" or "Tom." This is your assurance of our commitment to quality.

The Original Diestel Hen ranges 10 to 24+ lbs.
The Original Diestel Tom ranges 24 to 36+ lbs.
