What kind of test could Minah, the Director of Duke University Dining Halls from 1946 to 1974, be conducting on turkeys? Was it a taste test or some sort of \u201cmystery meat\u201d challenge? Was he investigating the sleep-inducing properties of turkey meat?\u00a0 Was he out to prove that turkeys really are as dumb as they are rumored to be?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Sadly (for us), Minah was a practical fellow and it was none of those things. Minah, who worked hard to provide quality food at the lowest price to the university, wanted to know if turkey could be a cost effective meat option for campus dining halls. The test was part of an effort by the National Turkey Federation (NTF), an organization representing turkey farmers and processors, to better market the turkey and get more turkey on more American tables. (The NTF is also the organization that provides turkeys for the annual White House turkey pardon.)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15153\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15153\" style=\"width: 429px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-chart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15153 \" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-chart.jpg\" alt=\"Chart showing the results of the Duke turkey test. \" width=\"429\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-chart.jpg 2180w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-chart-300x229.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-chart-1024x783.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-chart-768x587.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-chart-1536x1174.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-chart-2048x1565.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chart showing the results of the Duke turkey test.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Duke, along with dining offices at other schools, participated in a 1951 study to determine how much edible meat a cooked turkey yielded and how much a single serving of turkey would cost. Led by Food Production Manager Majorie Knapp, Duke cooked several whole turkeys and took detailed measurements before and after cooking. Duke&#8217;s test used Broad Breasted Bronze turkeys from Sampson County, North Carolina which, according to Minah, &#8220;is a delicious eating turkey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">According to the results of the Duke test, turkey would cost around $1.50 per pound of cooked meat and around $0.20 per serving. In her summary, Knapp noted that the price for chicken was cheaper at $1.37 per pound. A serving of chicken would be a few cents cheaper than turkey.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15164\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15164\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-text-full-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15164\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-text-full-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-text-full-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-text-full-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-text-full-1024x665.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-text-full-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-text-full-1536x998.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2019\/11\/turkey-test-text-full-2048x1330.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marjorie Knapp&#8217;s turkey test report.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The test results were submitted and later included in NTF marketing materials designed to get turkey on the menu at places like schools, hotels, and hospitals.
