What are turkey trimmings?
In the meat industry, the term ‘turkey trimmings’ refers to the various parts of meat that have been cut or sliced from a larger piece of meat. This mainly refers to the cut off pieces that cannot be used as complete fillets. This combination of small and large meat scraps is by no means less tasty. These bite-sized pieces are mostly an addition in the kitchen and add an extra dimension of flavor to preparations. They consist of various parts of the turkey, such as breast, thigh, or a combination thereof.
What are turkey trimmings used for?
Turkey trimmings, sliced pieces of turkey meat, are versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes. They are particularly suitable for use in stews, as they have time to cook slowly and absorb the flavors of the sauce. They can also be added to stir-fries, where they cook quickly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients in the wok. In addition, they can be grilled, fried, or stewed and are a delicious addition to salads and pastas.
