Slaughter times can be different depending on what type of turkey it is. For example, a heritage turkey would be at least 6 months, while a broad breasted turkey would be ready within 4 to 5 months.

Well, since we don't have teeth when we are infants, that is not the best age. We can start to eat turkey when we are 2 or 3, but toddlers really don't enjoy things like adults do. Teenagers eat like bootless pits, but again, don't savor the flavor. So I'm going to go with 25 as the best age to eat turkey, because you are old enough to kill it and savor the flavor.

When did Benjamin get electrocuted?

He was not electrocuted by his lightning experiment (although the next person to attempt it died), but rather when trying to kill a turkey. He was doing an experiment at a dinner party to electrocute a turkey so as to not only kill it quickly but also to make the bird tender (muscles relax with such a shock). The experiment failed and Franklin was electrocuted. Of course, it did not kill him. He did this experiment in 1750 - 40 years before his death.
