A turkey crown is basically a turkey’s chest with the wings and legs surgically removed. It’s the loin of the bird world. It’s perfect for small dinners or when you want to impress without feeding an army. You get all the “ooh” factor of a whole turkey, but with half the stress.
Fun fact: Turkey crowns were invented in the 1980s by a butcher who hated carving legs. Okay, I made that up, but it should be true. They’re also cheaper than a full bird, meaning more cash for extra stuffing.
