What 

NOT To Feed 

Turkeys

In order for turkeys to thrive in a backyard environment, they need to be fed food that meets their nutritional needs. Some things that are okay for humans to eat should never be fed to turkeys, no matter what.

Turkeys on average grow much larger than a typical chicken and they require far more protein and supplements than their counterparts.
