Turkey meat stands out in the world of meats by combining both red and white meat.
White meat, found in the breast and wings, is leaner, lighter, and quick to cook—ideal for grilled turkey breast, natural slices, salads, sandwiches, and diet meals.
Red meat, from the thighs and back, is more flavourful, juicier, and requires slower cooking—perfect for stews, ragouts, stuffed cabbage, burger patties, meatballs, and succulent roast turkey thighs.
The Perfect Wine Pairing
What wine should you drink with turkey? It’s widely known that white meat goes with white wine, and red meat with red wine. But what do we pair with turkey? The answer: Pulykaság!
A collaboration between the winemaker of Dereszla Winery and the meat expert of Gallio led to the discovery of two ideal wines to pair with turkey: a crisp Olaszrizling that brings out the lighter notes of the meat, and a red cuvée that complements the darker tones.
