Title: Turkey Plucking
Post by: HoofsandWings 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??

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.
