Turkey Q...do you prefer dark or white meat ?

[Dancing Fire]

i know 85% of the people prefer white,but i''ll eat both.

 

[rhbgirl24]

only white... can''t get into the texture of the dark meat for some reason.......

 

[MagsyMay]

Mmmm both, if it is cooked well! I only would eat dark meat as a kid though. White meat is so often dry.

ditto, I like to use white meat for my next day leftover turkey sandwiches though,

 

[jet2ks]

Will eat either, as well, but I prefer dark.

 

[Luckyeshe]

Leg please!! Unless the white meat is really moist! Then I''d eat either.

 

[FrekeChild]

DARK!

ETA: Where did you get the 85% DF?

 

[bee*]

only white for me as well-I hate the texture of the dark meat as well. Yuk

 

[zoebartlett]

Only white meat and without the skin. My stomach turns just thinking about eating the skin.

I don''t get the appeal of that.

 

[Lauren8211]

Neither. I don''t like turkey!

 

[Burberrygirl]

White, I really don''t like Thanksgiving food all that much.. I know that sounds awful! My parents are excellent cooks too, so I should love it..

 

[Snicklefritz]

Mostly white meat with a couple bites of dark here and there.

This exactly.

 

[diamondringlover]

only white for me!

 

[purrfectpear]

I''ll eat both. I love the white meat for turkey sandwiches though. I do my turkey in the oven bag so it''s always moist. It''s almost impossible to screw up and make a dry turkey in the bag

 

[JSM]

Both! I slightly prefer dark, but I love turkey (especially my own

)!

 

[iheartscience]

White!

 

[vc10um]

Usually white, but I''ll eat dark here and there, too, especially if the white is uber dry.

I am a closet skin lover. The skin is my favorite part.

Dark meat is a close second. I try to avoid white as much as possiible, but don't want to be rude and take all the dark meat. If I could just have one of the drumsticks, that would be ideal--skin included, of course.

Yeah, someone else admits to eating and loving the crispy skin. I went for decades without touching the skin because of the fat content, but heck it tastes so good! My favorite part of the turkey is the thigh. I buy Shady Brook thighs all year long and roast them in the oven. They''re delicious.

hubbs walks by and says "he means Turkey right?"

lol

 

[Kaleigh]

White meat, but will eat both. Also a skin lover, that crispy skin is the best. Hey once a year, it''s fine!!!!

 

[BeachRunner]

white meat for me, please! DH steals all the crispy skin, but thats OK!

 

[Octavia]

I like both! The white meat is best doused in gravy...yummmmmmm...and the dark meat on its own or with just a touch of gravy. I also only like white meat in soups, for some reason, so I usually try to reserve some breast meat for that. No skin for me, though, it kind of creeps me out.

 

[AprilBaby]

White meat! Don''t like the dark meat.

 

[loriken214]

DARK! Love crispy skin, too...YUM!

Lori

 

[jewelerman]

one answer...white meat please!Only the crazy people like the dark meat!

 

[kama_s]

Dark meat! And without gravy *blech* I find white meat so boring and dry. I cook chicken thighs mostly at home, dislike chicken breasts.

 

[Cind11]

White meat. The dark looks very unappealing to me.
