i like wild turkey. the others are right on with their advice. 2 other ways i cook them is deep fried and in a crock pot. this fall i put my whole skinned hen in a crockpot with chopped onions and BBQ sauce...man oh man was that good. other old spring toms ive cut the breasts into strips and put them in bread crumbs and deep fried...turned out good...

oven ones WILL dry out when cooked like grandma cooks the thanksgiving butterball. i never really cared for any oven roasted turkey after i started deep frying them. i dont know how deepfrying a whole wild bird would work because i always skin mine. there aint enough time in a day to pluck a turkey skinning them takes me all of about 5 minutes. wings, tail, feet, and beard come off, open up the vent and gut it. pull the skin off, wash it off and cook it or bag it and freeze it..i tried plucking my first...i got about a fist sized spot done, ended up tearing the skin anyways and proceeded to skin it...took a while to get that little spot done...nasty feathers stuck to you..flying all around the garage and yard...nah..not for me! lol.
