Fun Turkey Facts

You already know that there's nothing quite like a plateful of juicy turkey (and cranberry sauce)...mmm! But what else do you know about this traditional Thanksgiving Day food? In honor of the bird that puts his roast-y goodness on our platter every year, we've gathered up some fun turkey facts:

A 15 pound turkey usually has about 70 percent white meat and 30 percent dark meat.

Turkey eggs hatch in 28 days. Baby turkeys are called poults.

According to the Guinness Book of Records the largest turkey raised was 39.09 kilograms (86 pounds) -- about the size of a large dog!

Adult turkeys can have 3,500 feathers. Most turkey feathers are composted. Feathers are spread out on fields, then plowed under in the spring. The feathers decompose and fertilize the soil.

Male turkeys gobble. Hens do not; they make a clicking noise.
