It just hit me this afternoon...
Turkey legs...
Just like with the salmon, once again, they tan them in quite a few different colors. The resulting piece is small and very thin, but seems quite strong.
The pic attached is one I just grabbed off an eBay listing that ships from one of the Chinese producers (rather than linking to one I don't have any experience with or something).

I'm so glad you posted this. It reassured me that I'm not the only one who will sometimes buy weird stuff just for the sake of it being weird stuff. I don't have any turkey leg leather hidden anywhere, but I do have a collection of different samples of spun fiber from a myriad of sources that I have yet to do much with - not much call for nettle thread in ordinary sewing. Or banana "silk".

In modern times the only right way forward is to come back to nature.
