A turkey mount is a display that showcases your turkey’s tail fan—and often the beard and legs—using a plaque or bracket designed for wall hanging. Most turkey mounting kits include a backer plate to hold the feathers, mounting hardware, and a plaque made from sturdy materials. You’ll find options in solid wood (such as oak, cherry, or walnut) or durable metal, plus designs with artwork, carvings, or state shapes. Many are easy to assemble and sized to fit different turkey species. If you’re building a bigger display, there are also multi-beard or stackable turkey fan mounts to grow your collection over time.

Pricing varies widely based on materials, capacity, and design. A simple turkey fan mount with a beard slot usually costs less than a multi-display rack that holds several fans and beards. Solid wood plaques, decorative engravings or images, and included accessories (like hardware, plates, and hangers) can influence the price. To find a good fit for your budget, browse turkey mounting kits on Walmart.com, filter by price, material, and capacity, and compare product details and customer reviews. Deciding whether you want to display just the fan, the fan and beard, or the fan, beard, and legs can help you avoid paying for features you don’t need.

Longevity depends on the kit materials, how well the fan and beard were prepared, and the display environment. Many wood or metal turkey mounts can look great for years with routine care. To help extend the life of your display:

• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat vents, and high humidity.
• Dust gently with a soft brush or microfiber cloth.
• Periodically check screws and hangers for tightness.
• Mount into a wall stud or use appropriately rated anchors.

Results can vary with climate and handling, but choosing a sturdy turkey fan mount and maintaining it regularly can support long-term display without frequent upkeep.

DIY kits make it approachable. A general process looks like this (always follow your kit’s instructions):

1. Prep components: Ensure the fan—and any beard or legs you plan to add—are fully dried and clean according to a reputable guide or the kit directions.
2. Test layout: Position the tail on the backer plate, align feathers, and mark holes using a provided template if included.
3. Attach parts: Secure the fan with the supplied plates/screws, add the beard holder, and fit any decorative cover or nameplate.
4. Hang safely: Install the hanger on the plaque and mount into a wall stud, or use anchors appropriate for your wall type.
5. Display & care: Place it away from sun and moisture; dust occasionally.

Use tools carefully and refer to the included instructions. Results may vary based on materials and preparation.

Many turkey mounting kits include a dedicated slot or clip for the beard, and some add brackets or hooks for legs. To display all three together, choose a plaque that lists holders for the fan, beard, and legs in the product description. If you want to show multiple beards or several fans, look for “multi-beard,” “stackable,” or multi-fan designs. Some universal-size plaques also accommodate optional elements like a skull or wings. Before purchasing, review what hardware is included and the total capacity, then compare dimensions and customer photos on Walmart.com to make sure the turkey mount matches your display plan.
