Midget White Turkey

Breed status – Critically rare

The Midget White was developed by Dr. J.R. Smyth to meet the anticipated demand for a smaller turkey on the American table. The market did not develop and the breed never became widely popular. Despite limited success in the marketplace, this unusually friendly turkey has found a niche with small producers and has been growing in numbers as people adopt sustainable agricultural systems in which this breed thrives.
