Actually, I FIRMLY believe that a wild turkey is FAR better tasting than store bought, and I never waste anything from my birds, ever. I generally cook wings and thighs and carcass down and pull the meat for turkey soup with the saved broth, or turkey salad. Breasts are generally filleted and grilled. Sometimes I’ll fry the whole bird, skinless. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor..... which I can’t comprehend anyone ever saying about any store bird unless they brined it forever and injected it. I guess I would caveat that I’ve never eaten anything but acorn eating and bugging easterns and rios.
