All of a wild turkey is good. Sometimes they may eat wild onions later in the spring and there may be that taste there.
But while growing up and even now my favorite part of a turkey was the dark meat on the legs made into a hash.
Same with geese, which have the same tough legs. Cook them a long time until the meat falls off the bone, pick out the meat from the leaders that will fall out (never seen so many), cut it up. Cook up small cubed potatoes, onions, add meat, flour and water beaten/made into a thickening, lots of salt and pepper, a good portion of butter (and a little Old Bay), simmer, and it is the greatest meal with peanut butter toast. Guess what I'm eating now?
Wife is making me clean the freezer from springs past.
