Assess Body Condition (Feel the Keel)
4
- Solution: Check the fleshing on the turkey's keel (breast bone).
- Explanation: Gently feel the keel bone. In a well-finished bird ready for processing, the keel should feel well-covered with muscle, not sharp or prominent. The breast should feel plump and full.
- Notes: This provides a hands-on assessment of readiness beyond just age or weight.
