First, it was introduced late. At that time, there were no planes, fuel, ships and freight, so it was too difficult to transport. It took months or even years for the west to reach the east, but potatoes, corn and onions did not need feed in this soil, unlike turkeys, which still needed to consume food during transportation.
Second, the cost of raising turkeys is also high. Because of its huge size, the purchase cost of turkey seedlings is higher than that of ordinary white ones. It is big, eats more and occupies more space.
Third, turkeys are aggressive during the breeding season. Moreover, turkeys belong to neurotic animals, and are easily frightened, which will affect the normal growth and even death of turkeys, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty of feeding, so there is basically no large-scale breeding in China.
Fourthly, the meat quality is not suitable for China population. The fat content of turkey is very low, so the meat tastes very bad. The leg is actually the best place to eat turkey, where the meat is tender and suitable for our taste, and it tastes like eating cardboard. Moreover, because turkey has no taste, it mainly depends on seasonings to enhance its taste. Many western Renye Fang find it hard to accept, and more people regard lighters as holiday food, and eat turkey just like China people eat moon cakes on Mid-Autumn Festival, which is somewhat similar to China's feeling of remembering the bitter experience.
Fifth, eating too much will cause waste. Turkey looks bigger than ordinary chicken, I don't know how many times. For the sake of beauty, such a big turkey is usually roasted whole, which definitely needs a huge oven, which is not available in many families in China, so it is difficult to popularize it.
Sixth, it is very difficult to handle. When the whole roast is roasted, it will be unfamiliar from the outside, and the anger is so great. If there are not many people in the family and they can't eat meat, it will take ten days and a half months to finish it if they are reluctant to dump it. The lighter, which is relatively dry in itself, is cold. After overnight, what kind of taste should it be? For China people, it is difficult to raise turkeys, and the meat quality of turkey is relatively firewood, which is troublesome to make and easy to make miscellaneous.
