I have not seen turkeys eat peanuts but friends in the Durant OK area say they occasionally have to run Rios out of the peanut fields
I know they field hunt waterfowl in harvested peanut fields
Since turkeys basically eat just about everything…..I figure they would eat peanuts
Know any turkey farmers?
They could tell you for sure
