I think that's a great idea, Sir Loin. Worth a shot.
Sounds like Jenny gave you a Tom instead of a hen. They do tend to be tough and dry. I have found that Toms are only good for the stock pot after the dinner. I used to buy fresh turkeys, and made sure they were hens. So much better than the frozen ones.
Tax mate if you caponised a cock turkey you would get an ostrich that could hit the high notes.I wonder if anyone raises turkey capons
But you'll get coupon for a terrible product.
Sorry, but it's true. Maybe you could donate the coupons.
Just chalk it up to lesson learned,IMO.

What is "turkey capon"?
As far as tom or hen goes. It doesn't really matter.Pretty muc all, so called chickens, for example, sold in the store are in fact rusters, unless you specifically buy a roasting hen, for example. Basting, is the key to any turkey making.
