The idea behind the turkey (or other waterfowl) is that it is more manageable to clean than a full deer or hog. We're doing this as a family outing. My dad can teach me to clean a bird. Processing a deer is something he's never learned, so I would have to turn to outside help.
However, I'd be all for other reasonable starting places including deer if that's a more achievable goal in the short term.
