Abscess on a turkey, should I eat it?

[chcltlabz]

When I was cleaning this bird, I noticed this abscess around the breastbone. It didn't smell, but looks nasty. Meat looked normal. Bird was healthy and gobbling and strutting right until he died of heavy metal poisoning. Only other oddity he had beard rot.

What do you think, should I eat it?

That looks pretty nasty think I would toss the meat and keep the spurs/fan/beard

Throw a little salt and pepper on it and all should be good...I doubt I would try it tho. Lol

Nnnnooooooooooooo......

You will never see a bigger abscess in a bird. That bird certainly had bacteremia, i.e.  bacteria in the blood stream, and that means ALL flesh from that turkey would be extremely dangerous to eat.
