If you are not consuming the head of your Thanksgiving Turkey, you may consider the ‘Freeze Dry Service’ offered by Hazel Creek Inc. of Green Castle, Missouri. Here is the procedure:
Cut head off and freeze as quickly as possible.
Freeze heads in a small amount of water in a Ziploc bag.
Place heads in a trash bag and triple bag or ship in a disposable water tight container.
Put in a box and insulate with newspapers. (It is very important to make sure your package does not leak as it thaws)
Ship your head Next Day Air UPS.
Please enclose a packing list with your heads. Name, address, phone #, and complete list of heads and positions.*If your heads are sent fresh and frozen, the quality of your heads will be noticeably better.
*If we receive your heads brown and thawed, you are going to lose a lot of detail and quality, and possibly epidermis slippage.
*If leaking during shipment there is a good possibility that the shipping company will throw your package away to prevent damage to other customers packages.
Remember to choose in which position you wish to have your head(s) returned: strut, flared strut, half strut, running, running open mouth, standing alert, walking, fighting, roosting, gobbling, flying or flying open mouth.
An other way to (re)use your turkey head is repeating the famous (1957) experiments of Martin Schein and Edgar Hale of the University of Pennsylvania.
