We had turkeys when I was growing up - my dad was a frustrated farmer. I remember he killed them in the garage and immediately dunked them in hot water so they'd be easier to pluck, but even so there would be tons of pinfeathers still in the bird. My dad is a problem solver, a city kid and a hobbyist - he pulled out the acetylene torch and singed the feathers off. Needless to say, Thanksgiving involved a turkey with lots of little scorched feather nibs in the skin.
