Turkey: Light Meat or Dark?

[PattY1]

I am a foodie, I like to cook, I am in tune with what is really good and I prefer Turkey Breast meat.

The poll speaks for itself. In real life I observe most people want white meat, yet the poll shows that more than 50% forum members prefer dark meat. I can think of no other explanation. I'll entertain other explanations.

Please note there is no right or wrong answer to the poll. It only indicates preferences, and like the Internet abbreviation: YMMV (your mileage may vary)

I will eat both white meat and dark, but I too prefer dark. That is why I serve duck for Christmas. This year was no different. I made two ducks, and they turned out fantastic! Gotta live an all dark meat bird!

That's why I like duck too. Nothing like quackers for dinner!

You do have to cook them pretty hard though...

i prefer white meat. Dark meat goes into soup, and I don't tell me it's dark meat. That way I don't know.
