»  Wanton Waste and Breasting Out Birds | Hunter Angler Gardener Cook

I’ve been guilty of breasting out birds, either turkeys because the legs are too tough, or grouse, because the legs are too small.

But then I learned how to confit the turkey legs for rillettes and to roast the grouse legs for stock.  There’s really no excuse, besides laziness, to not take the time to get as much out of your birds after shooting them.
