White, and whatever few bites of dark I can steal away from my husband.

A little bit of both if I can get any dark meat away from my boyfriend.

White. Definitely.

Dark Meat is juicier and more pronounced in flavor. In fact I will usually buy a 3-pack of drumsticks to make my own turkey broth for the stuffing, gravy or a soup course.

DARK!

White meat or dark meat? I have to go with dark meat just for the heavier game flavor and the ability to stand up to reheating for leftovers. My favorite use of left over dark meat is to saute fresh aromatics like diced celery, carrots and onions. To the pan I'll add large diced pieces of bread dumplings (spaetzle would also work) and cook until the veggies are soft, the add the shredded turkey, heat through, then add turkey gravy to the mix and again heat through. I always make plenty of stuffing to have for leftovers so I'll cut a nice thick slice of stuffing, microwave for a minute on a plate then serve the turkey mixture poured on top. YUM! Put a little cranberry sauce on the side and you're in leftover heaven.

Hmmm, how about a turkey and foie gras terrine with truffle sauce? D'Artagnan a little help.

Always white, unless I'm making sandwiches and then you need a little dark for flavor.

Dark meat!

Both, unless the white meat is too dried out!

both for me!

Dark meat please :)

white! yummm...

white, with gravy

dark, with gravy.

dark, of course

Dark meat has all the flavor and juice, so I go with that if it's a whole turkey. You could also just roast the breasts by themselves; when you do that, it becomes much easier to cook them properly, without drying them out. Even then, the white meat has relatively little flavor though.

dark dark dark dark dark.

dark meat! although i always have 1 piece of white - have to check to see if it's moist or on the dry side. love to eat the succulent oyster and the tail too - especially if it's crispy!

dark. then white for leftovers on a sandwich.

Dark meat for eating hot, white for making stuffing/turkey/gracy sandwiches.

I'm a stickler for white, but my grandmother instilled in me the glory of dark meat as well. All I know is that I'm almost always the one finishing off the leftovers and being picky gets in the way of tastefully cleaning out the fridge. ;)

White meat.

White meat, which is why I'm perfectly happy buying bone-in turkey breast rather than a whole turkey.

White. So good on sandwiches the next day.
