HOW TO REMOVE THE FEATHERS FROM A "FOWL" WASHINGTON DC TURKEY!
"The traditional way to clean a turkey is to pluck the feathers off and then gut the bird. This will keep the skin on the turkey which will give it more moisture and flavor after you cook it. You can also save the "giblets" (heart, liver, gizzard) from the bird and make a traditional turkey gravy later when you cook it."
"It is preferable to pluck the turkey before removing the entrails. This keeps feathers from getting inside the bird cavity and in general keeps things cleaner. If you've already field-dressed the bird, don't worry about it but be sure and rinse out the cavity good to remove any feathers when you are done plucking."
"The Washington DC Turkey has about 545 feathers on it and you can pluck them one at a time, or remove them in large chunks by dipping the "bird" in hot water (people resistance). Some people use boiling water but many people swear that water at 140 degrees is the optimal temperature for plucking the feathers. Once the "bird" has been dipped in hot water, the feathers will come off much easier and they also are easier to handle since they are damp and they won't fly around the room."
All the people need to do is to get a big enough pot (determined resistance) to dip the turkey into the "hot water"!
