I wonder if a wild hunted turkey has more flavor than a store-bought bred for their big hooters birds. I've never had a wild/hunted turkey.
The breast is about the same, but over all less fat content. The dark meat has a much stronger flavor, but it is also much tougher than a farm bird, to the point where it is really good for making stock and such and then pick some of the meat from the back and thighs, everything else is dog treats if you can get all of the structural stuff out. Though a buddy of mine swears that a couple hours in a pressure cooker makes the legs tasty too - I tried, too chewy still.
