Turkey Talk

A little fun turkey knowledge....
Turkey is the main course at Thanksgiving meals in 90 percent of U.S. households.

The average weight of the bird when purchased is 15 pounds.

The largest turkey raised so far was 86 pounds.

But the biggest turkey feather–bearing fowl is Sesame Street's Big Bird, cloaked in about 4,000 large feathers all originating from 45-pound turkeys.
