turkey feed ?

i have a 3 month old turkey (not sure what age ) and i was wondering what i could feed a table bird besides 20 to 30 % protine crumbs.??

We feed ours layer pellets after they are 16 weeks and they do great. We also supplement their feed with lots of fresh vegies and things. They love apples, oatmeal, crab grass, lettuce, and tomatoes. They eat watermelon and cantalope but aren't really fond of them and they won't touch summer squash at all. Cabbage and pumpkin are other things they like but those are kind of seasonal.

Sounds like what I feed my fowl almost everything that I don't feed to the dogs I will feed to the Chickens and Turkeys.
Some one gave me 30 old packs of brown sugar and oats I cooked it up and gave it to the Turkeys and Chickens and you would think I had given them prime rib.
Nothing goes to wast.
peeled and cored 20 pounds of apples and the peels and cores went to the Turkeys and Chickens and they loved it nothing was left.
Potato peels if you nuke them first not good to feed raw potatoes to them.

that sounds perfect I've got access to all that around the farm

well what I'm feeding him/her right now is a mixture of corn, wheat and 16 % protine feed all mixed together and sprinkled on the grass (the corn and wheat are straight from the silos we have on the farm)
