Turkey Facts:

45 million Turkeys are eaten each Thanksgiving.
22 million Turkeys are eaten each Christmas.
19 million Turkeys are eaten each Easter.
A 16-week-old Turkey is called a “fryer”. A 5- to 7-month-old Turkey is called a “young roaster” and a 1-year-old Turkey is a “yearling”. Any Turkey 15 months or older is called “mature”.
Turkey breeding has caused Turkeys’ breasts to grow so large that the Turkeys fall over.
A 15lb. Turkey consists of 70% white meat and 30% dark meat.
The most popular ways to serve leftover Turkey are: sandwich, stew, chili/soup, casserole, and burger.
The black-feathered (and thin) Wild Turkeys are not the same as the white-feathered (very overweight) ones that we serve at Thanksgiving and other holidays.
Wild Turkeys can fly for short distances up to 55 miles per hour. Commercially raised Turkeys cannot fly (primarily because they are too top-heavy).
Turkeys can drown if they look up when it is raining.
Wild Turkeys can run 20 miles per hour.
Turkeys can see movement almost a hundred yards away.
Wild Turkeys spend the night in trees, flying to their roosts around sunset. They especially like Oak trees.
A Wild Turkey has excellent hearing & vision, and their field of vision is about 270 degrees.

Wild Turkeys were almost wiped out in the early 1900s. Today, there are Wild Turkeys in every state except Alaska.
