I buy one turkey a year, for Thanksgiving. I like chicken better, to
me turkey has a slight gamey flavor. Actually I'm not all that fond
of chicken either, I find plain chicken boring, it's like canned tuna,
needs to be made into something to be tasty.

Years ago I'd turn poultry carcasses into stock but for a long time
now I toss them outside for the critters. I find it labor intensive
and costly to prepare a proper poultry stock. I haven't bought whole
chickens for a few years now, we prefer skinless boneless chicken
breasts sliced into thin cutlets, seasoned and sauted... neither of us
likes breading.
