Poultry fabrication techniques are similar across the different classes from chicken to turkey, and duck. Chicken being one of the least expensive birds on the market is a good item to practice cutting, boning, and portioning skills. because of their similarity to turkey, ducks, and pheasant. Although the muscle and carcass structure is similar from one class of birds to another there are some differences that should be note.: Young chickens including fryers and roasters, Cornish hens, and poussin have softer bones and cartilage making them the easiest to fabricate. Turkey and chicken capons are bred for their large breast meat ideal for roasting whole, or portioning into cutlets including scallopini and schnitzel. Turkey legs have more tendons in their legs, along with harder bones and cartilage. Ducks and geese have dare dark meat birds with less breast meat. Pheasant use their legs for running resulting in tough tendons and cartilage along with darker meat from increased myoglobin, while the breast is relatively tender and lower in fat and counective tissue. . results in gives the meat a tough texture and cartilage that runs along the legs. results in tough and have more tendons that are the result of their ability to run and move about rapidly and the bones will also be harder and more brittle. Squab and quail are small and require precision and a delicate touch when fabricating.
