Benjamin Franklin wanted the national bird to be a turkey.

In 2000, the average American ate 17.75 pounds of turkey.

The heaviest turkey ever raised was 86 pounds, about the size of a large dog.

The male turkey is called a tom and a female turkey is called a hen.

Turkeys’ heads change colors when they become excited.

Toms (males) weigh 18-24 Ibs or more; hens (females) about 10 Ibs. Plumage is iridescent bronze; dark in males and tips rusty or light brown in females. Wings and fan-shaped tail show alternating dark bands. Neck and head of adult males is reddish, while females have bluish heads with more feathers.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 45 million turkeys are cooked and eaten in the U.S. at Thanksgiving that's one sixth of all turkeys sold in the U.S. each year. American per capita consumption of turkeys has soared from 8.3 pounds in 1975 to 18.5 pounds last year. Last year, 2.7 billion pounds of turkey was processed in the United States. In 1995, retail sales of turkey reached approximately $4.4 billion. They are expected to $4.7 billion in 2000.
