Edibility of Poultry Drum Sticks Improved by Tendon Removal
Removing tendons from poultry drum sticks, especially turkey legs, greatly improves edibility. Each leg has about nine tendons, seven in the rear and two in the front. Tendons are removed by a lengthwise skin cut and pulling them out. nail or hook methods work, and patented tendon pullers are available for large workloads.
