# Turkey Farmers Recovering From Two Years of Losses

> U.S. turkey production is rebounding after two years of disease-related supply declines. Farmers raised an estimated 198.5 million turkeys in 2026, up about 3% from 2025, while federally inspected turkey meat production is projected to rise 6% to 5.13 billion pounds; domestic consumption and exports are also reported to be strong.

## Why it matters

More birds and higher meat production add supply and could weigh on turkey prices, although firm domestic and export demand may absorb some of the increase. Disease and higher feed costs remain risks to producers.
