A standard supermarket turkey, the kind you wrestle into an oven once a year, is usually about 30 inches from beak tip to tail feathers. That’s roughly the length of a baseball bat, or a very disappointed cat stretched out for a nap.
But here’s the kicker: that’s a frozen, un-stuffed, store-bought turkey. It’s the turkey equivalent of a mugshot. The full, strutting, live version is a whole different animal—literally and figuratively.
