You could probably safely eat the other breast. Bacteria throughout the bloodstream would be a dead bird before you could have shot it, but there could be bacterial endotoxins throughout the blood. That big of an abscess would condemn the whole bird at a slaughter house, so that is probably your best answer. Toss it. Buy a turkey and cook it in honor of the one you killed!
Psalms 118v24: This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

I would not eat it. Not worth it. I shot a bird a few years back that had half the breast gangrene like. Sadly I pitched that bird and kept the beard and spurs. No idea what had happened to him.
Anyone know if a DEC can re issue a tag due to unfit consumption ? In a few cases I've heard of them doing it for deer here in NYS.

WOOF! I'd approach that with the same care I would a $5 truckstop hooker.
