Tom Turkey o' the Day
(or Today's Tom Turkey, if you prefer to go all-on alliterative)
Figured I'd photo document this guy before spring turkey season comes around & he ends up as someone's dinner feast.

Follow Ups:
I think I've roasted three in the charcoal Weber, for extended family Xmas.
That helps harden the skin and keep a lot of moisture inside.
But, I'd rather cook two large chickens, or beef - a whole rump or two big fillets. So I stopped.
Roast Chicken, French-herbed style! Butter, Dijon mustard, minced parsley, minced garlic and minced tarragon. All mixed together and smeared under the breast skin and out over the thighs. Skewered together before roasting.
You use a tablespoon to separate the skin and deposit the mixture.

"The most overrated flesh ever, IMO."I disagree.
Turkey is plentiful, cheap and nutritious - just what poor nations need. ("Turkeys Without Borders"?) Try finding pork or beef (in the U.S.) for 69 cents a pound - even (especially?) in peak demand season.
Sure, it's about as tasteless as chicken. Although, chicken thighs are actually pretty good. My wife uses them exclusively in her excellent chicken enchiladas.

We can afford to eat well.
Prefer organic / free range / grass fed meat and poultry. Free range organic chicken is not tasteless IME&O.
But eat less of it that we once did.
A large veggie garden helps.

turkey's pretty good. I do NOT care for the dark meat on the turkey, though. (I very much like the chicken's dark meat)
Cooking on the Weber'll give you about the best turkey possible IMO (although, I will admit, I haven't tried deep frying one)

Nice shot, but that bird is in serious need of a makeover. With butt-ugly looks like that, I don't see how they ever decide to 'get it on' and reproduce. Kinda reminds me of the fat woman with the goofy makeup on Drew Cary's show.
:)
I'd have thought some would have remarked on the PICTURE.
Nice shot. And I'll bet getting a Turkey to POSE is not the easiest to do.

They're an alert animal.
I'll bet during HUNTING SEASON, you'd almost NEVER have an opportunity to photograph one simply grazing along.
They are a pest animal in your yard and than completely disappear for hunting season! That'd be my impression.

Alliteration is repeating vowel sounds. Consonance is repeating consonant sounds.

Sorry, but it's from being married to an English major for the last 37 years.
I am usually pretty good in terms of grammar (at least) -- I must admit, I didn't know alliteration is vowel-specific.

You know, this caused me to do a bit more research on this topic. Turns out that there is disagreement among sources as to what alliteration means. Some say it includes consonant sounds as well as vowel sounds. So, I retract my post and apologize. Going to have some fun with my English major over this.

nope, nothin' here. nothin' at all.

how to roast a wild turkey ------
Put a rock in with the turkey while roasting. When the rock is tender the bird will be also.
