Turkey Trivia

When one thinks of turkeys, one generally thinks of something like this:



However, the turkeys most of us eat are actually Broad Breasted Whites, whose pale coloration makes the pin feathers (those bumps you see on the carcass, I think) less visible and who have been bred for maximum breast-meat production. This is the kind of turkey you always see the President pardoning. Fun fact: the aforementioned maximized breast-meat production means the Broad Breasted White, as well as other commercial breeds, can't naturally reproduce. Therefore, in vitro fertilization and artifical insemination is often used. Think about that for a second. My first thought? "It's someone's job to jerk off a turkey." My second? "I wonder if they use a turkey baster. Heh."

Anyway, have fun tearing into the carcass of a brutally slaughtered genetic freak of a fowl! It's The American Way™!
