    yes he will be cooked until well done. Second question. Has anyone deep fried a 60 pounds bird? The biggest I have ever done was 25. I didn't realize my birds had gotten that big

    safe to eat turkey ?

    We culled a turkey to eat. He has had a foamy eye for a couple days now. No sneezing , coughing, abnormal stools, odd behaviours. Yes I realized I should of asked this first. I just thought about it after the fact that he may not be safe to eat.
