OK, so I processed my first turkey that I raised here at home.
I was doing the evisceration and I noticed how large the gizzard was . . . man, that thing is bigger than my fist!
Anyway, I cut the gizzard open and found a 3 inch nail embedded in it. Where the nail was poking through the gizzard meat, the meat was actually rotting . . . or at least it was a small section of black muck that stunk.
I don't know where it got the nail as I usually have very clean pens.
Do you think I should throw out the entire gizzard or just cut away the bad part?
