Wild or Store Bought Turkey

[darkchild16]

Which do you like better?

Wild Turkey for me.

 

[*Amy*]

I've never had anything other than store bought turkey so I had to vote store bought.

Does wild turkey taste different?

 

[Zoom]

Wild Turkey, eh? YOU'RE PREGGERS, YOU NUT!

I've only ever had store bought, so I can't really say one way or the other. I went turkey hunting one time but didn't get a shot off once.

 

[darkchild16]

It has a more natural, gamey taste i geuss you can say its hard to explain. Of course this year is only the second one I will eat. My dad wont go Thanksgiving hunting without me. :/

I didnt mean the liqour but thats good too LOL.

Never had wild and no one in my family (even the aunts!) can seem to cook a turkey without drying it out so I vote neither. Give me a honey-cured ham any day.

store bought! deep friend! YUM-O!

 

[darkchild16]

my dad tried that one time Bp and it is a family joke now if that tells you anything LOL. we went out to dinner that thanksgiving.

 

[Buddy'sParents]

LOL- if done right, a deep friend turkey is THE way to go. I have never had a better tasting turkey- ever. It doesn't taste fried which is big plus and it is so yummy and juicy... is it Thursday yet?

 

[darkchild16]

I get a turkey tomorrow and ham thursday

We've only had store bought. Which is insane, since we've had wild turkeys in our yard. *sigh* I actually saw a huge one whose body was bigger than my torso once alongside the highway. Gawd that bird was beautiful. I hope no one had him for dinner.

 

[darkchild16]

nolu thats why we only hunt them once a year and only one for thanksgiving. They are so gorgeous.

 

[noludoru]

Yeah.. I don't think there are a whole lot of them, either. At least not like we have dear. Gawd. I had a small herd of deer trying to break the darn fence in yesterday morning/

I have to say store bought since I have never had a wild turkey... you aren't allowed to hunt them in this particular area until the spring

 

[darkchild16]

We have em everywhere here. We go out and have only not gotten one once. I hate hate hate deer. That sucks. The season where my dad is opened 2 weeks ago

 

[Lizmo]

Store bought.

Breeze, I assume you've had both, which is better in your opinion?

 

[wehkah]

No avid hunters in the family so store bought is all I've ever had. And I agree with Buddy's Parents... deep fried is the best!

 

[darkchild16]

Lizmo- wild. Store bought to me jsut taste funny and i can taste the chemicals and stuff in it. PLus i love the part of going hunting with my dad.

No wild turkeys in Canada , so was brought up with store bought . I like the Norbest over Butterballs .....love the timer !

 

[CelticxConnections]

I'm going to say store turkey because the only wild turkey I've had was really dry.

 

[bubbatd]

Any dry fowl is from poor cooking .
