Dad's Turkey- Yum!

So, this spring, Dad got drawn for Spring Turkey. And, not only did he get drawn, he got a bird!

Now, I know dad isn't very tall but that was a BIG bird. His beard was about 7 or 8 inches long. Which is how you decide how old a turkey is and how close he is to trophy. He's big but not trophy size.

When we got him all cleaned up he was super duper long and really skinny. Not an ounce of fat on him.




Don't believe me?

Yum! He was a bit dry, but only because he was so lean. We ate him like a Thanksgiving turkey and later in albondiga soup. Albondiga, of course, means meatball in Spanish, so it was a bit of mis-nomer since there was nary a meatball to be found.
