How do I create a pure white Turken?

[Mpool]

I have searched all over the internet and in stores and can’t seem to find anybody that is selling pure white turkens. (McMurray used to but isn’t selling them this year) So my question is, how do I achieve this myself? I already own red/buff Turken hens and was hoping I could breed them with my white longhorn roo to get some white offspring. I know they won’t be pure white the first round so do I need to breed the white offspring back to the dad(leghorn) or would breeding the white offspring with eachother make them pure? Would they be pure after the second round? Looking for the best way to go about this.

Get a white Plymouth Rock. They are recessive white but the offspring bred back to a recessive white should give you 25 percent naked necked (bow-tie) white offspring, 25 percent naked necked colored offspring, 25 percent feather necked white offspring, and 25 percent naked necked (bow-tie) colored offspring.
Using a dominant white breed like the White Leghorn will give you all kinds of red leakage.

Okay so if I’m understanding correctly, I would breed the turkens to a white Plymouth Rock and then breed the offspring(white only or does it matter?) back to the Plymouth Rock to achieve a pure white Turken? If I then bred those white Turken siblings to eachother would they breed true white?

Breed the Turkens to a white Plymouth Rock. The offspring will probably not be white (unless the red Turkens carry the recessive white gene.) If they are white... congrats, you now have white Turkens. If they are some other color, breed the daughters back to the Plymouth Rock father. This should produce 25 percent white offspring with one copy of the naked neck gene. They will not breed true for the Naked Neck gene but they will breed true for white. Breed these offspring together to produce homozygous offspring (chickens with a fully naked neck and no bow tie.)

There are also bantam white naked necks that are more common
