Quarter

Leg quarter of Turkey is the dark-meat quarter for value roasting and barbecue. Season under skin; cook through at the hip joint. As a quarter section of leg, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Cook turkey quarter 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.
