How do wild and domesticated turkeys differ?
Yes. Most farmed turkeys that would show up on your table are Broad Breasted Whites. They are bred to be big and have a large breast. They are so big, they have to be butchered before they get to their full size because their legs will break under their own weight, and be artificially inseminated because they can't breed on their own. They are white in color so that dark pin feathers don't show on their skin, making a better looking cooked bird. There are however, what is called 'heritage' breeds which are very close to wild turkeys and these are generally grown by hobbyists. There are several colors available. They are a bit bigger than a wild turkey, but not as big as the broad breasted breeds. A wild turkey is about the size of a big chicken. In terms of the taste, it depends on what the turkey has been eating. The turkeys you get at the store have been eating manufactured pellets and butchered before their full weight so they don't have much fat (which makes them dry and kind of tasteless). A wild turkey likes to eat acorns and greens, and will have a much more full bodied turkey taste. Their meat is also darker because they get more exercise than a penned turkey. If you feed a domesticated turkey on a wild turkey diet, it will taste like a wild turkey.
