The smallest breed of turkey is the Midget White. Midget White turkeys are known for their compact size, with toms (males) typically weighing about 13-15 pounds and hens (females) around 8-10 pounds when mature.

Midget White Turkey Overview

• The breed was developed in the 1960s as a smaller alternative to larger commercial turkeys.
• Midget Whites are friendly, easy to handle, and particularly well-suited for small farms or backyard flocks.
• Their plumage is pure white, and they appear as a miniature version of the common Broad Breasted White turkey.
• The breed is considered rare and classified as "Critical" by conservation organizations due to its limited population.
