What is the red thing under a turkey's neck called and used for?

The red thing you are referring to is called a wattle. It is not clear why turkeys have them but it is likely that they are used to attract the opposite sex and/or to scare away other male turkeys. When the male turkey gets excited the red wattle enlarges in size perhaps making it look more attractive to the opposite sex and scary to the same sex. This is similar to an erect cock on a human male, as the increase in blood flow helps attract mates while scaring off other males. Not much information about turkey wattles can be found. Hope this helps.

The wattle helps to cool the turkey. The bright red area has blood flow close to the surface and as it is not covered by feathers it gets cooler faster. Turkeys do not sweat.

How many eggs does a wild hen turkey lay?

Turkeys lay from early spring to early summer, a span of about 4 months. During that time the turkey will lay 12-18 eggs and then sit on them. If you collect their eggs they will continue to lay, eventually producing an average of 1 egg every 2 days for a possible total of 80-100 eggs. Most people who breed turkeys collect the eggs and hatch them to maximize the number of turkey poults produced.

Why not to eat turkey?

Springtime would be my guess-when they are in "heat" or have young ones.

I agree only because they are breeding. However if you are hunting wild turkey, or if they are in your yard eating up your garden, if your state gives out prediter permits, then try not to kill the only tom you see. He may be the one that will give the hens offspring.

Like any wild meat, make sure you cook it well.

How does a turkey attract a mate?
