I shot a few turkey's yesterday and breasted them out straight away. The breasts from the one we shot in the morning were hanging in the pillowcase from the tree for half a day and the other two we shot in the arvo didn't really hang at all. Tried them that night and found the thicker pieces were pretty tough but the thin ones were not bad. the breasts got mixed up so I don't know which are the ones that we shot in the morning. Is it common practice to hang turkeys? If so, how long for?
Cheers
Only if they rustle cattle or run off with your wife.Quote:

Id have hung them a bit longer like three or so days in a cool fly free place me self... Bit like Paradise duck straight of the barrel on to the barby
too tough to chew ..
Phil, could just as easily be the age of the turkeys.
Freezing breaks down the connective tissue in meat, so you can always though the rest in the freezer for a couple of weeks.
Bloody hell Barefoot. Here are the rest of us taking the piss and you go and give practical advice.Quote:

Barefoot - you are probably right. I don't know what an old or young turkey looks like so it was luck of the draw. The rest is in the freezer now, hopefully that softens it up but I might give it a couple days to chill also. Cheers for the advice.
Your a turkey!!!
dude.. get v hot water dunk them in, then pluck the whole turkey. it will come up white and clean. throw it in a roasting bag chuck it in the oven then slow cook it. the best roast turkey ever and great the next day for sammies. kinda seems a waste just to take the breasts.
Could be the difference between the males and females Phillip
Yeah could be. Do you know which sex tastes better? Do you know what sex they were when you got the carcasses?Quote:

Never having tasted male and never going to so to help you out female is the only tasting you should do.. But hey its a free world out there ...
Not to be taken in months with an R in them apparently (or is that urban myth?) some thing to do with bug consumption or something ..
Old Tom turkeys (the big ones) would obviously be tougher ..
When i get off the forum i will pick em up, i didnt get there yesterday haha
Um yea na, i havnt a clue , but what Happy said haha
Phillip the sex organs of fowl like Turkeys are internal so you need to look at other features to tell the sex (it is a bit late once all you have is a boned out breast). You will never see a donger and nutsack on a bird as it would create so much drag the buggers couldn't fly.
Ha ha that's a crack up... Beware of low flying nut sacks. Imagine getting hit in the forehead by one ...Quote:

Yep, that would be down to his ankles. Something to be proud of. No wonder they suck it up inside.Quote:
