I am guilty of doing (usually) just one turkey a year, but I buy it before Thanksgiving (which my brother hosts) and cook it when the spirit moves me (often the week between Christmas and New Years with everyone home). One time, I carved up a turkey myself, cutting the breast into cutlets and BBQ-ing the legs.

Turkey is one of those 'occasional' meats that make it to this household. Why? Not sure, despite the fact that turkey breast, leg and wing cuts are always available at the grocers.
