Turkey (Whole) is an entire raw turkey, a large bird carcass with enough meat for many meals. It is heavy for a food item, but it holds a huge amount of food for its weight. It must be cooked before eating.
A whole turkey spoils within days, so it needs to be cooked or cut up quickly. The Cut Up Turkey recipe splits it into legs, wings and fillets for smaller meals and dishes. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
A cooked whole turkey lowers hunger by 224, far more than one character can eat in a sitting. It holds 1821 calories, with 104 grams of protein and 53 grams of fat and no carbohydrates. That makes it a feast for a group or a stock of meals for one.
Raw turkey is dangerous to eat and can make the character sick. It must be cooked first. Turkey is better hot, so a freshly cooked bird gives a small mood lift.
Eating it in stages is the practical way to use one. Each portion eaten takes a share of the bird and leaves the rest for later.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
A whole turkey cooks in 30 minutes and burns after 60. An oven or a fire both work, but a microwave is a poor choice for it.
The Cut Up Turkey recipe splits a whole bird with a sharp knife or a meat cleaver, which is kept. It gives 2 Turkey Legs, 2 Turkey Wings and 2 Turkey Fillets. Those six pieces lower hunger by 244 in total, a little more than the whole bird. They hold 1320 calories between them, which is less than the whole bird's 1821.
The pieces suit evolved dishes such as soup, stew, stir fry and pasta. Cutting the bird up is the way to spread one turkey across many pots.

Storage
A whole turkey stays fresh for only 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down, and a freezer holds it far longer. Cutting it into pieces and freezing them is a good way to keep the meat.
Notes
- Cutting up a turkey gives six pieces that suit soup, stew and stir fry.
- The whole bird holds more calories than its six cut pieces put together.
- Raw turkey is dangerous, so the bird must be cooked before eating.
- A whole turkey rots in days, so it should be cooked or frozen at once.
