the problem is....
not for a lack of turkey's...
but they don't often gobble here
on the east coast
so it's harder to call them in...

Rosemary Chicken for Turkey day for me and Mom's turkey for Sunday dinner. 
I'm not responsible for the death of either. |

ya know, I want to kill a wild one some year too... but some non-hunting types I talk to say that wild turkey is terrible and that the kind you get in stores is so much better. Is this true guys?
I mean, I know you have to brine it and all that. But how could a store-bought hormone injected turkey be better than a free-wheelin' happy-go-luckey wild turkey?

Store bought,, I shot one once, call camo - the whole deal, and it was a lot of fun but with the effort required to pluck that turkey to roast it wasn,t worth the end result. The breast meat was ok but the legs/thighs were pretty chewy. We have a resident flock of 7 that have been hanging out under our bird feeders since August, they walk right by the dog kennels daily and have no fear of my labs and at this point my "hunting" dogs seem to care less.

If I wanted wild turkey, I wouldn't have to shoot one--all I'd have to do is set a snare in my back yard 
Problem is, they've been there since March and at this point, it'd be like eating one of my pets. We've been watching the chicks grow since they were little featherballs. |

I never have, but it is definitely something I've thought about pursuing. I had not heard that wild didn't taste good. I've had store bought I brined and it tasted all right, and a fresh killed free range, also brined and superb, but I had read this year that there's also a "heritage" turkey, which is more expensive, probably because it takes years to mature to the point it can be tablefare, but also more flavorful than the domestic white from the supermarket. It's a breed that resulted from domestic turkeys brought from Europe in the 1600's with wild ones in America.

I did veer the truck and almost got one but ended up buying one at the market.
We have a bunch of wild ones in my 'hood and they always seem to get thinned out this time of year for some reason.

Probably some food from Omega Protein Inc. The same company that the great conservationalist Bush family has kept in business dispite the obviouse fact that they are killing all the Manhaden that help our eco system in many ways and feed our fish...
I couldn't resist... I hate that company! |

I heard that wild turkey tastes great the only thing is you have to do the frying pot thing.
