[Avodah] Turkey

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

<<I have been told about two gedolim who did not eat turkey - Rav P. M.
Teitz of Elizabeth, NJ and Rav  Yaakov Kamenetsky.
I  am  sure  there  are ohers.>>

The question is whether it was a personal chumra or they felt it was really
prohibited.
I have heard that R H Schacter also does not eat turkey nevertheless the OU
gives a hechsher to turkey.

Nevertheless it is clear that turkey today is considered a kosher bird.
There are some rabbis that are machmir on almost anything, Doesnt have any
implications for the rest of us.

Rumor has it that both CI and the Brisker Rav would not do melacha on "yom
tov sheni" because of the Rambam that says that Yom Tov Sheni holds for any
location where the messengers didnt reach. We dont pasken this way and in
fact these gedolim did not publicize their views so that others would not
follow their personal psak
