On some turkeys I just put acrylic matte clear on them. I paint all my other birds' feet and legs. I make the decision on the turkey leg condition once everything is dry. If the scales still are tight and have good, natural coloration I just seal them with the acrylic. I personally can't paint a turkey leg as good as Mother Nature.
