| How fresh is the turkey litter?
If it is not fresh (actively releasing ammonia), I think that you will not loose much N because the red clover will help to scavenge N that moves into the soil between now and spring.
Have you had good success with spring plowing in your area? If not, you may want to consider late fall tillage.
Before we started planting a lot of radishes, we normally disk ripped redclover in late November ahead of corn.
