Mind you, I have not done a side-by-side taste test, but I bet a tom in mating season will be a bit gnarlier than a hen or a jake. Out of mating season, I bet there is no difference -- except the tom may be older and tougher...

I'm a big fan of your blog. I have been having a bit of a turkey debate here in Germany and I figured you would be the guy to ask. One of my German friends maintains that the meat from male and female turkeys is very different, whereas I (an American) maintain that the meat from either bird would be extremely similar. Any insights? Hi Hank! I’m a big fan of your blog. I have been having a bit of a turkey debate here in Germany and I figured you would be the guy to ask.

I particularly like the fact that you used a wild bird. Did Holly wear a Pilgrim hat and use a bluderbuss when she bagged it?
