Smoked Turkey Tails
Hmm-- These popped out at me in the market today so I bought them.
dirt cheap- and if the smoked wings and drums I've gotten there are any indication, they should be loaded with smoky goodness. my first thought was to use them in a bean or lentil soup-- but now I wonder if I should just heat them up and snack on them. Any smoked turkey tail connoisseurs out there? Jim |

Mostly fat, not pure fat. There is muscle in there, and the skin can be nice and crispy. --Bryan |

Couldn't prove it by me- I've never seen canned turkey tails- smoked or otherwise. These are packed 6 to a pack in a styrofoam meat tray in the meat dept. I usually only get 3-4 turkey tails a year- and now I've got 6 all at once & they are smoked! Jim |

I eat ice cream, too. At least there isn't any sugar in a turkey butt. Jim |

A few went in some cabbage soup-- but I baked the rest. These were about 1/3 fat, 1/4 bone, 1/10th skin, and 1/3 meat. The smoking wasn't bad-- but they didn't seem to be cured at all. I'm going to keep my eyes open for raw ones and smoke up a batch myself. Jim >-sw |
