I never thought about aging turkey.
  I almost always bring mine straight home and it'll be in the freezer, vacuum packed right away.
Maybe ill give it a try next year but I haven't had a toughness issue.

I believe it is more of a taste issue than a tough/tender issue.

Does anyone brine their turkey?  For a couple of years now with upland birds, my hunting buddies have put all of the day's birds in a cooler with water and salt overnight before putting them in bags.  It gets the blood/bruising out of the bird.  Not that I felt they needed it, but it also makes them more tender.
