KNIFE SKILLS:
How to Butterfly a
Chicken or Turkey
Butterflying any bird is pretty much the same, though you
may have a tougher time getting through the bones of a
large turkey than a chicken. If the idea of forcibly cutting
through the bones with a pair of kitchen shears gives you
the willies, ask your butcher to butterfly your turkey or
chicken for you, making sure to save the backbone (and
neck) to use in your sauce.
