Grow it, kill it and enjoy it!
The time has come for me to do the nasty deed! After several months of careful nurturing with plenty of fresh and healthy feeding, the turkey which surprisingly provided many enjoyable moments has gained considerable weight.
After much searching, it was decided that the preferred method of killing would be to simply to behead the bird. After binding the feet, a black sock was placed over the head, which seemed to pacify the bird. The bird was placed on the ground and holding the wings firmly, it’s neck resting on a wide block of wood, and with a short swing of a hand axe, it was all over in seconds. Advised to pluck whilst the body was still warm, it was not too difficult to complete but there was a surprising amount of feathers.
Soon we will enjoy the better tasting qualities of a home grown free range Turkey.
