Dark meat is just the better meat. I will smack down any communist who disagrees.

Rockin' Doc Nov 21 2007 07:21 PM

It's all good. I like the white meat with gravy and the dark meat straight up.

No mattter what the "bird" I like dark meat, seriously on the turkey I go for dark meat, I really don't like the breast, not even on a chicken.

Dark meat. Turkey sucks in general, at least the dark meat is juicy.

I used to have a strong preference for white meat, but in recent years I've come to appreciate the deeper flavor (and the grease!) of the dark meat.

Dark. So much richer and more flavorful. Also, way harder to dry out.

Dark meat. White meat tends to suck the saliva out of my mouth.

It's a dark meat slaughter. When it's done right, all turkey is good.

DocTee Nov 21 2007 09:27 PM

White. All the way-- nothing better for a Friday sandwich either.

Odd that there isn't an option for both. (As a vegetarian I'm abstaining from voting).

California votes white.

growing up, i always went for the dark meat cos everyone else went for light. that way i could eat more of it without fighting for portions. also,. the white meat was always so damned dry, and required too much gravy that could be otherwise used on my mashed potatoes, veggies, etc. since i've started cooking my own birds, the white is much juicier than it used to be. but its still not dark. just finished getting my brining all set up for the bird... jeez, its friggin' late!

Tofurkey.

Stunned that dark is winning! Light is the only way to go.

Kid Carsey Nov 22 2007 09:14 AM

I like both without favoring one or the other.

Elster88 Nov 22 2007 12:14 PM

White. With a pinch of salt.

cooby Nov 26 2007 08:29 PM

Dark meat. Has more flavor, more moistness. I like to eat it right out of the refrigerator, with salt. Maybe over the sink if I'm feeling more energetic. Bonus: I'm the only one at my house that likes it better!

Edgy DC Nov 26 2007 08:53 PM

Tofurkey makes me fart. For days.

sharpie Nov 27 2007 08:05 AM

Dark all the way. Same with chicken, dark. Problem is that everyone else in my family feels the same way so birdbreasts go a begging.

We don't even do Turkey at Thanksgiving, have switched to an "alternate" choice, be it Pork or Roast Beef. Turkey = overrated.
