Actually I like a good brush turkey. Here is a fair dinkum method to cook one. Pit cooked. Down by the billabong.
1. Dig a pit 18 inches deep
2. Fill with firewood (Red gum or Yellow box is best)
3. Gut but do not pluck the turkey.
4. Cover with an inch of mud.
5. Wrap well with water lilly leaves
6. By now the pit is full of coals so place in the prepared Turkey along with a damper prepared the same way.
7. Allow at least 2 hours then recover the parcels of food.
8. Break away the cover. The skin and feathers on the turkey will come away with the clay and the turkey meat will be steamy and delicious.

Works great also with rabbit and fish. Fish need not be scaled or gutted. The scales and skin come away with the clay and the gut shrinks into the head and is there when you pull away the head.

Our scout master, when i was first introduced to this, also showed a couple of the local aboriginals how to get a better cooked goanna than just throwing one onto an open fire, as was their cooking method.

or/ wrap the fish in newspaper, soak in water, put onto the hot coals for steamed fish. We did this with trout while out hunting. / or hang the fish on a wire hook up the chimney over a dying fire, put a handful of manuka bark on the coals, and you got smoked trout for lunch after the morning hunt..
