Answer 7

I honestly don't think you need concern yourself about the salt content in a turkey. Sure it will have salt, sure some of it will be natural from the turkey, sure they will have added a bit in production but, did I say you don't have to concern yourself about the salt content?

More than likely you're gonna find more salt in a 200grm bag of Doritos.  

Answer 8

boil it for about 6 hours.

Answer 9

I dont think you can 'take it out', you could try to mask it by not salting what your'e eating it with, veg, potatoes e.t.c.

Answer 10

Make soup out of it. Or turkey stew with plenty of potatoes. Potatoes soak up salt.

  Actually you and Mog are correct!!! making soup with a few potatoes was perfect.  Thanks so very much.
