[Sca-cooks] larding turkeys and other meats

[Terry Decker]

Turkeys replaced most of the traditional large birds during the 16th
Century.

For an earlier replacement, you might consider the guinea fowl, the Roman's
Numidian hen.  It has a similar diet and reaches the size of the Eastern
woodland turkey.  The domestic turkey is quite a bit larger, apparently
having been bred from the large Rio Grande turkey.
