Thread: When to harvest turkeys?

back in the old days when i worked in a bakery we used to harvest turkeys in may .....we used to wrap them in dough and put them thru a couple of bake cycles with the days bread when done you could break off the dough eat the bread and the turkey retained all its juices and tenderness and wasnt toughas old boots like they can be..... nowdays the missus makes a mean as stuffing that seems to tenderise the meat really well

Just normal bread dough? I'll have to try that with some peacock I have in the freezer. Beautiful tasting bird but can turn out a bit chewy.
