all the turkeys in the supermarkets are slaughtered but not all the turkey makes it to the supermarket. the parts of the turkey that don't make it to the supermarket are called turkey offal. the plant in missouri turns this turkey offal into oil. we're talking a lot of turkey offal.

here's a pdf on it if you want more detail

Well, the dictionary defines offal as the waste parts of a butchered animal, like entrails. Other definitions are "refuse," "garbage."

The stuff they scrape out before they sell it to you to restuff and bake.

What's turkey offal?

Offal is less than guts, like the nose, tail and ears. It is distinct from manure (though manure may also be part of this particular process). The Scottish delicacy "Haggis" is made from cooking the "offal" of sheep that is left over from slaughter, mixed with "guts", oatmeal and spices, in a sheeps' stomach with the ends tied off to form a large sausage. "Offal" is essentially the worst or inedible meat of the animal.

Historically, it has been the meat of the wretchedly poor. The Scottish poet Robert Burns elevated the social standing of the low born Haggis to a position of prominence at formal Scottish dinners by declaring it, in his poem "Address to a Haggis", to be the "Chieftain O' the puddin' race". Very American. The Haggis was born in a log cabin, as so many American Presidential candidates like to claim and rose to prominence through their own exertions.

Turkey guts and their contents. Took a tour of a chicken processing plant about twelve years ago and the second stage was the "removal" of the innards. That part of the plant held quite an aroma.
