I know turkey is kinda bland and gamey, but turkey that tastes like it was marinated in cigarette butts and used matchsticks somehow sounds like it'd be worse
I've never heard of turkey described as gamey, and I'm genuinely confused as to why you think it is
Depends a lot on the turkey I suppose. Some store-bought 'basted' thing is essentially soaked in brine and 'natural flavor' and butter, and a wild turkey is quite a bit drier and tougher and has a kind of rough taste to it from whatever it eats
Ah, that makes sense
Here's one more cool turkey tidbit, since we have them all over in my neighborhood. They really do fly up into trees to roost! They're super loud and clumsy, and spend more time aiming than anything. They'll eyeball the next branch, take a couple steps back, then make a huge racket and the whole tree shakes when they land. They fool no one lol
