About The Farmers Turkey

Hi! We're the Achens, and we've been raising turkeys in southeast Iowa for four generations.

We eat turkey from our farm every day, and now you can enjoy the same turkey we do - The Farmer's Turkey.

Our turkey goes directly from our family's farm, to a farmer-owned processor, to your fork. Our Shredded Turkey, Turkey Tenderloins, and Boneless Turkey Breast Roast make it easy to put lean, high-protein, great-tasting turkey on your plate every day.

From our family to yours,

Jared, Tawnya, Brecken, Tenley and Nixen Achen

Turkey Legs Near Me

Looking for rich, flavorful dark meat? Turkey legs are a classic cut known for their juiciness, hearty texture, and versatility. Perfect for roasting, smoking, grilling, or braising, turkey legs are a favorite for family meals and holiday feasts alike. With ChopLocal, you can order turkey legs online directly from independent farmers and butcher shops — delivered fresh to your door.

Why Choose Turkey Legs

Turkey legs include the drumstick and thigh, delivering dark meat that stays moist during cooking and soaks up seasonings beautifully. Whether you’re making a fair-style smoked turkey leg, a cozy braised dinner, or a holiday entrée, turkey legs bring big flavor to the table at an affordable price.

Fun Facts About Turkey Legs

  • Turkey legs are made up of dark meat, which is juicier and more flavorful than white meat.

  • The higher fat content keeps the meat tender, even with long cooking times.

  • Smoked turkey legs are a staple at fairs, festivals, and barbecue joints — and you can make them at home!

Nutritional Benefits

  • Protein: Turkey legs provide a hearty source of high-quality protein to support energy and muscle repair.

  • Iron & Zinc: Dark meat contains more iron and zinc than white meat, boosting immune function and oxygen transport.

  • B Vitamins: Rich in B6 and niacin for energy metabolism and overall wellness.

Cooking Tips

  • Roast for a Classic Flavor: Cook turkey legs in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 90 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 175°F (80°C).

  • Smoke for a Fair-Style Treat: Marinate turkey legs overnight and smoke them low and slow for rich, smoky flavor.

  • Braise for Tenderness: Slow-cook turkey legs with stock, wine, or aromatics for a melt-in-your-mouth meal.

  • Season Boldly: Dark meat pairs well with strong flavors like paprika, garlic, rosemary, or spicy rubs.

Meat Delivery

Order turkey legs directly from trusted local farmers and butchers, and have them delivered straight to your door. With ChopLocal, you can skip the grocery store and enjoy premium, farm-fresh turkey delivered to your doorstep. Supporting local farmers and getting high-quality, fresh meat has never been easier

Delicious and incredibly easy on a pellet smoker. Removed from package, put on at 225. Took about 2 hours to reach 165 internal. My family strongly approves!

Marinated Turkey Tenderloins: We turned these into baked turkey fingers, breaded with panko. The marinade kept them really moist and the flavor was so great!!

I've ordered from The Farmer's Turkey several times and it's always been shipped quickly and arrived in great condition. These turkey products are so easy to cook and are crowd-pleasers every time. People don't even believe it's turkey sometimes! Highly recommend this turkey for easy meals, feeding a crowd, or feeding kiddos.

I was extremely impressed with the packaging/cooler, nice cookbook, and obviously the meat! These will make excellent holiday gifts to send to our family in the coming months!

Marinated Turkey Tenderloins [3lbs] - Loved how they were pre-marinated and ready to throw on the grill! Excellent package size for a family with kids.

Thanks again,

Those turkey tenderloins were so good! I really liked the package size because I love leftovers for my lunches during the week!
