The first thing you need to do is remove the trophy parts of a turkey. This includes the beard, spurs, fan and even the wings (if you so desire). Hold the beard from its base and cut it from the birdâs body leaving about a 1/4â³ of additional skin around it.Remove any feathers that are not part of the beard.To remove the fan, cut the end of tail and remove the tail with about 3-4 additional inches of back skin and feathers. Some folks keep the spurs by removing both legs at the knee. The leg can then be dried and used as anything from bookends to ashtray stands.emove any feathers that are not part of the beard.

Kincardine is one of Scotland's finest Victorian Castles set in 3,000 acres of beautiful family estate in the heart of Aberdeenshire's Royal Deeside. Views from the castle extend up to 42 miles to the Cairngorms.
Kincardine Castle was built as an 'entertaining machine' - a job which it does as well today as it did then. Kincardine is a private house, not an hotel. It does need a minimum number to make the house party concept work and we only accept bookings from groups of six or more.
