Don't give in too quickly!
Annual production of turkeys in 2004 was 250,000,000 head.
If we conservatively estimate that every turkey has 20 pounds of guts (I doubt it's really that high), then that's a maximum of 2.5 million tons of turkey guts a year.
The inventory/scam artist is claiming 600 million tons of turkey guts are available.

I think that was just the author (or editor) making some simplifications. From the article:
Just converting all the U.S. agricultural waste into oil and gas would yield the energy equivalent of 4 billion barrels of oil annually.
Obviously, keeping the mass in terms of turkey waste (the input stream of the Carthage plant) make things simpler.
