Poultry

Dindon de Lozère

A tier

Dindon de Lozère comes from the high country of Lozère in the Massif Central, where cooler climate and extensive farming favour hardy turkeys with firm, aromatic meat. The flavour is clearer and less fatty than lowland industrial birds, reflecting altitude forage and traditional grain finishing. Roast with chestnuts, aligot-adjacent potato richness on the side, or juniper and thyme for mountain notes. Legs appreciate longer, moister cooking. This is plateau poultry—seek small producers who actually raise birds in Lozère rather than merely packing elsewhere.
