Poultry
Back
Back of Turkey holds spine and residual meat for stock. Roast then simmer for broth. Cook turkey back to temperature when thickness varies, rest before carving, and add fat or sauce if lean. Roasting, smoking, deli slicing, and mince show the cut’s strengths. Match heat to collagen—fast sear for tender muscle, long moist heat for hard-working joints.
