When it comes to those rare times i get turkey meat i prefer white mean, just like the fowl i get much more often, chicken. In general the dark meat is just nasty, greasy and leaves an unpleasant feeling in the mouth. I am not very fond of turkey though, it tastes a lot like chicken, which makes sense given that they are pretty closely related, but has less flavour and is just in general dull...i never understood how it managed to be the traditional meat for two whole holidays, it really needs to be cut into small bits and then be heavily seasoned to avoid being dull. And i have tried eating ordinary stuffed turkey, so i know how it taste. I get it pretty much every year on the 26th of december when all members of my mother's family is forced to attend a family event where my aunt who pretty much never eat meat except for turkey gets to decide some of the food.
