Offering superior quality is the driving force behind Willie Bird Turkeys. This is why we control the entire process of procuring meats, seasoning them, smoking them, vacuum sealing them, and shipping them direct from us to your doorstep. They are shelf stable which is why we recommend shipping second day air, just refrigerate upon delivery. Our smoked products are shipped fresh/chilled to retain flavor and texture. If not used in this time period the product can be frozen for up to six months. All of our smoked products are fully cooked, immediately cooled, and vacuum-sealed so that they will remain fresh for a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks. It is during this process that it absorbs the depth and character of flavor that has become the famous Willie Bird trademark. Next, we smoke it over natural wood (sweet maple hardwoods). First, we wet cure it in a mild, low-salt marinade conceived of special oils and spices, where it is then aged to perfection. Here at Willie Bird’s, we use nothing but the highest quality poultry. When the Royal Yacht, Britannica, pulled into San Francisco Bay, the caterer for the royal, on-board feast knew exactly who to call to meet their needs – Willie Bird Turkeys.

One day the Queen of England wanted smoked duck – at least, the people who serve her food did.
