Turkey thigh

Essentially, the turkey's thigh is one part of the carcass of this large bird. This meat, located on the femur, is rightfully considered one of the most tender and fragrant. Turkey's hip is wonderfully suited for frying, braising, baking and other types of cooking. The calorie content of the turkey hip is approximately 144 kcal per hundred grams of this product.

It is worth noting that in the modern retail chain on sale there is not only a turkey hip with skin, but also without one. By the way, in some cases, the manufacturers also remove the femur, but it is quite natural that the price of such a meat product will be slightly higher.

You can buy a high-quality cooled turkey hip quite simply - you press your finger on it, after which you observe how quickly the resulting dent is restored on it. If this process takes almost no time, you have a quality turkey hip in front of you in a chilled form. However, such a test with frozen meat will not pass.

You can make a lot of delicious dishes from the turkey thigh - for example, like pilaf with turkey, turkey with garlic and mayonnaise or potatoes in your own juice, turkey thigh with pineapples, turkey fillet rolls and much more. This product is great for preparing any meal, which includes the use of turkey meat - the turkey hip is perfectly combined with various ingredients.

Experts advise you to make a turkey hip marinade, thanks to which the meat will not only become especially tender, but also acquire an unsurpassed aroma and taste. If you don't have enough time to marinate, you can simply sprinkle the turkey hip with fragrant seasoning and put it in the oven.

Among the most popular marinades that are used to pre-treat the turkey thigh, kefir, honey-soy, garlic and lemon deserve special attention. All of them are perfectly combined with poultry meat, as they differ not only in the ability to significantly soften meat fibers, but also in endowing the finished turkey thigh with an indescribable aroma and simply divine taste.

In addition to excellent gastronomic properties, the nutritional value of this product is also high.
