  • Equal weight thigh and breast meat, approximately 1" cubes but then seasoned, cured and vac sealed so they may elongate beyond an inch. Cured for a week then sous vide cooked to 145 F internal. Ice bath, room temp bloomed for 30 minutes then frozen until solid enough to slice at “12” on the meat slicer.



  • Missing what?

    This was my first attempt ever. I mentioned process tweaks and I’ll elaborate here I would use more mechanical processing to optimize protein extraction and thus binding so it doesn’t separate when sliced and cooked. Otherwise it has the texture of real bacon and delicious turkey flavour.

    I can add smoke but it’s typically not included in a health-conscious turkey strip where I live.

    I’m legitimately curious, don’t leave me hangit bro.













  • Doubt I can top that but I got one for you.

    We had a restaurant server, Fabian, who was perpetually high on his own farts. Everyone hated his attitude.

    One day he comes to work and drops his bag on the floor and goes to take a piss.

    We stole one of his dress shoes and hid it in the back.

    Dude comes out to get dressed and can’t find one shoe. He’s trippin. “Fabian, what’s wrong?!?”

    He can’t find his shoe. “Who forgets ONE shoe at home hahahahahaha!”

    Dude had to wear a pair of dirty old shoes from the lost and found. Only size he could find that fit him were several sizes too big. Clown shoes all night.

    Then when he finishes his shift and goes to get changed we sneak the stolen shoe back into his bag.

    He finds it and absolutely FLIPS OUT freaking that he had to wear dirty shoes all night how could he have POSSIBLY missed his other shoe in the bag?!?

    This was over fifteen years ago and we still laugh when we gather. He carried some psychological issues from that one for several years.
