Giant turkeys

This article is a relatively long feature that's a joy to read. I usually don't read entire features on the internet like this (I still dig on the print, fellas) but this is pretty damn great. Interesting information, despite being published a while back.

How do you guys feel about this whole food jumbo-sizing and all that sort of stuff?

One part I noticed is that they focus on increasing turkey breast size 'because American's typically prefer white meat.' Dudes white meat is okay, but it's dry and not nearly as flavorful as dark meat. Come on Americans.

Also, there's a stand down the street from my apartment that sells 'Big ass turkey legs' and they're about the size of my forearm...

    Jumbo turkeys don't taste as good. Alton Brown taught me this so I know it's true.

    If you think that white meat is dry and had no flavour, well you are mistaken, or you have just been eating badly prepared turkeys.

    My Grandmother makes 25-29 lb turkeys like twice a year, x mas and thanksgiving, and her white meat is never dry, and it has all the flavour you could think of, but she does know how to cook it, and that is breast side down, so that way, the white meat will absorb all the flavors, and not be dry and tasteless.

    Man I've had delicious white meat.

    But relative to dark meat, it is dry and has less flavor. You can't compare eating dark meat off the bone to breast meat, assuming they're prepared the same way...i.e. a cooked turkey. :)

    And I pity the fool who doesn't know to cook the turkey breast-down.

    Wild turkey is good. Not Wild Turkey 101, while that is delicious, wild turkey is pretty tasty.

    You can't eat the leg, because they are far too tough and stringy, because, guess what, wild turkey walk a lot.

    But you just breast them out and oh man delicious.

    White meat/dark meat, I never get this argument.

    Because everyone knows that red meat is where its at.
