i would say go with the heritage either way. from all the research i've done, heritage turkeys even taste better than the BBB and BBW (according to several blind taste tests). those two have been breed for decades for size almost to the exclusion of EVERYTHING else. they tend to have leg problems and, obviously, can't breed. also, how often do you actually need a 35 lb turkey? why not have a couple more manageable 20 lbers who are going to be healthier, tastier, breedable, AND make your wife happy?
if you are near Knoxville and want to split an order of heritage turkeys, i'll be ordering some in the next few weeks (for probably April delivery). if you just want a trio or so, you are more than welcome to put your order in with mine. just PM me if you are interested.
