This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Animal Care.

Turkeys are great!  A holiday meat most people enjoy!

It's important to learn not just how to properly harvest a turkey, but why it matters.  

There is a heap of good information about how to maximize nutrition, minimize cruelty, and increase efficiency in the process. This thread has a few good approaches: https://permies.com/t/47528/butcher-chicken





For this BB, the minimum requirements are:
-Start with 1 Live Turkey
-Killed in a humane manner
-Processed and either prepared or properly stored within an hour

To document your completion, provide proof of the following as pics or video (less than two minutes):
-Living bird
-Bird after slaughter, depicting the method used
-Organs separated into suitable for human consumption / not suitable for humans consumption, next to plucked bird

I have pics from my last Turkey butchering, but the only one I’m lacking is the organs separated out. Would it suffice to say what I saved to eat?

I think since that's how the requirements are written, that's how you gotta do it.  sorry....
