I have to admit that I've never tried it, or actually heard of it.

There was one memorable turkey dinner in my life that I will never forget.
We spent Thanksgiving in NYC and stayed at the Pierre Hotel. Their dining
room served a dinner to end all Thanksgiving dinners, and it featured
roasted wild turkey. It was absolutely delicious and did not taste like any
turkey I have eaten before or since. I did try wild turkey one time after
that and I didn't like that either, so have never bothered again.
