I think it has to do with all the skin around its throat and chin. I'm pretty sure they would burger up that skin, because really, what else are they going to do with it? At least with a cow they turn the skin into durable goods.
Wow, I'd have to disagree. Having raised both pigs and turkeys as a kid (and having personally slaughtered and butchered the turkeys), I found turkeys much less disgusting than pigs. Of course, after a while I got completely desensitized, and we even started referring to our meat by name at the table.
