We don't have wild turkeys here other than my hunting buddies but we have Canada geese which we boil and pluck. The skin on a goose is what gives the meat great flavor. Wouldn't it be the same for a turkey? I know when we buy domesticated turkeys at the grocery store the skin is on them and my wife cooks up a a turkey that no other person can. I can't imagine cooking a turkey without the skin, wouldn't it be dry tasting?
everything down here is batter dipped and deep fried, didn't you hear? lol, j.k. nobody I know goes to the trouble of plucking one, usually just skin it out and filet the breast, maybe make soup with the rest if ambitious.

Hahahahaha....It wouldn't be dry if you deep fry and batter dip but what if you bake it. My wife bakes the turkey and man, let me tell ya, there is no finer, mouth watering taste than her oven baked turkey, well her baby back ribs in her sweet, hot sauce might be a close second.
Getting back to the skinning, once a goose, which is the same size or bigger than a turkey, is boiled the feathers pretty much fall off and it's ready for the oven.
Well since most of meat on a turkey is bad i mean over 50 percent is nasty breast meat ,it need moisture added. After you discard the breast you have some succulent tasty dark meat that's juicy and tender.
Yea with out the skin you cook it different. I will seal in foil with butter onions and other seasoning and slow cook in the smoker. Or like i posted above make Turkey spread always good juicy then. Nothing better than an turkey sandwich with real cranberry sauce.
Really if i was going to make a turkey dinner with one i would pluck it.
I am not a white meat poultry eater either. But fried turkey breast cut into strips is one of my favorites to come out of the woods. Turkey breast and gator tail are two meals I can cook and am guaranteed to get nookie
