Nope, wild turkey does not taste like a Butterball. For years and years my wife Emily put up with my smoked wild turkey for every feasting type occasion. Then there was an uprising among the families!

My boys and I argued in vain; the womenfolk prevailed and the Butterballs now rule the roost. My filleted turkey breasts get fixed other ways and for other occasions...Geo

I miss seeing my carefully plucked gobblers hanging in the smoker racks at the barbecue place with all the cute little butterballs. The barbecue guy once told me my wild turkey looked like a pond scoggin in there with the butterballs.
