Butterball turkey ?

Do Butterball turkeys have a lot of dark meat? I ask because my MIL was given one and wants to bring it for Thanksgiving. My mom always buys Honeysuckle White turkeys, and is concerned there will be too much dark meat (both of parents, DH, and myself prefer white meat... not sure about the in-laws). The only dark meat we got off the Honeysuckle White was the leg part. Thoughts?

Re: Butterball turkey ?

  • Most turkeys are bred for large breasts.  Only with some of the Heritage turkeys would you find a smaller breast, and I can safely assure you, Butterball is not in the Heritage turkey market.  Dark meat, btw, is always found on the thigh and leg and a miniscule amount on the back.  I think you'll be fine.  What may taste different to you is that Butterball is "enhanced" (injected with a flavor solution so you don't have to brine).  I don't know if your prior turkey brand does that.  I'm not familiar with it. 
  • Thanks, that's helpful info! I never make the turkey, so I'm clueless.
