I agree, I thought head cheese was essentially all the non bone parts of a pig's head (brains and teeth excluded) after it has been cooked for a really long time. No, I've never had it.
I am well aware that the original head cheese is totally from a hog's head. Then a few decades ago the foodie and health industry folks concerned with cholesterol , like our doctor , started to promote the idea of using the more "healthy" meats of turkey and chicken. The idea is the same, but the flavor has something to be desired. So , what can I say other than put the turkey carcass to use as food or throw it out ?

We have always made Turkey Hash out of it...corned beef hash...with Turkey instead of the corned beef...
Another way to use the meat off the bones is to add some cream of mushroom soup and pour it over mashed potatoes. Or, use the turkey meat , add some seasoning and place inside a soft taco . Or, just place some turkey meat pieces between 2 slices of bread and pour some hot left over gravy over it. Etc.

Soup...
I used to take all the scrap meat and add it to the left over gravy, then heat and ladle out over toast or biscuits. YUM! Now I use that and all the cartilage and edible waste to add to the dog's food. The bones themselves can make a decent broth/soup.
