American Turkey

This weeks animal, of course is the DELICIOUS turkey! Thanksgiving it is an American tradition to gobble down on some roasted, fried or however you prefer it! I prefer to deep fry it in some peanut oil and of course with some mashed potatoes and gravy. I have eaten it many other ways but this is always the best.


Turkeys are native really only to the United States which is a very good think because us americans LOVE turkey! These birds could have been the national bird but it was voted against and beaten out by the Bald eagle.

They are only about 5 kg. in weight but seem to be much larger because of their vast thick feathers they have on their bodies.

Americans have gladly taken these turkeys down and feasted upon them but lead them near to endangered species. that had to have strict laws to reintroduce them to the wild.

Im glad it worked because thanksgiving would not be the same without that delicious turkey breast!
