Turkey Plucking
« on: March 10, 2009, 09:23:53 PM »
Do you pluck dry or wet. I grew up plucking after dipping in boiling water.
Which way do you suggest??
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.

If you pluck it right after you shoot it it works pretty good. If you wait till the body temp comes down you will have to dip it.  :twocents:

 :yeah:


 Pluck as soon as you can, and then for the little pin-feathers take and scorch them off with a lighter or over a gas stove to get them off. Usually have an hour or so after shooting them if you dont gut them right away, to pull them out easy.

I just pluck it as soon as possible dry. Only takes about 15 minutes. Then into the deep fryer it goes.  :drool:
