1I don't think there is a well known cut called a "turkey chop." Can you provide a photo or description of exactly what the chop you have is? – SAJ14SAJ Dec 17 '13 at 05:11

@samyb8 That doesn't look like turkey. – derobert Dec 17 '13 at 14:55

Well, Amazon sells it like Turkey Chops: http://www.amazon.com/Kosher-com-Glatt-Kosher-Turkey-Chops/dp/B004BHN2G2 – samyb8 Dec 17 '13 at 15:04

@derobert, they look like cross-sections of large turkey legs, with that center bone being the femur. – Kristina Lopez Dec 17 '13 at 19:05

These are sections of turkey leg (drumstick) cut as to appear like a non-halal/kosher bone-in cut of meat, like a pork chop. The flesh is turkey, and hence not as robust as pork - treat more like a veal or lamb chop in terms of cooking technique, but season like pork or poultry. Here is a thread on Chowhound discussing various ways to prepare and serve.
