Spring turkeys that have spent the winter pecking corn from the manure piles at dairy farms here in the Northeast don't have a hint of foul flavor. If anything, the corn imparts a nice nutty flavor that wouldn't likely be possible at other times of the year when they eat bitter grasshoppers, ants and other bugs, mice, carrion, etc.
