Now that Thanksgiving is over and all of the dead birds have been eaten, which part is better? Personally, I'd go with dark meat, since it tastes better (to me, at least).

Well, I voted for white meat, since that's what I eat the most of, but I really can't eat it alone. I always need a bit of dark meat or gravy to spice (and juice) things up a bit. But dark meat by itself is a bit too slimy for my tastes. White meat cooked well (not as in well-done vs. rare) is a wonderful thing.

I mostly eat low-fat beef mincemeat and some chicken breasts now and then, so I vote dark meat. Should eat more fish, but I don't know how to cook it. I'm guessing I eat around 300gr meat a day in average.

Overall, I prefer the dark meat: it is generally moister and more flavourful. If the turkey is done correctly, the white meat can be great as well – but it is hard to fully cook the whole turkey and not overcook the white meat. And even when the white and dark are each cooked to perfection, I still prefer the dark.
Incidentally, comments in this thread seem to have answered, indirectly, a burning question I posted last year on AN, but to which nobody responded. When do Americans cook and eat the turkey? As far as I can see, your Thanksgiving is, effectively, a four-day holiday, weekend included. I wondered if the turkey is generally cooked and eaten on the Thursday or whether some (or most) wait until Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Comments here seem to indicate that it is the Thursday By way of comparison, Thanksgiving in Canada is a three day weekend (i.e., with Monday off) in early October, but I have never seen consensus here on whether the bird should be eaten on Sunday dinner or Monday dinner. Our family has usually had the big dinner on the Sunday. When there's an eel in the lake that's as long as a snake that's a moray. |

Oh, it's ALWAYS Thursday noon. I'm sure a few folks eat turkey for dinner, but really, I would venture to guess that the turkey eating begins at noon for a great majority of Americans. But, it doesn't end there. You see, there's always leftovers, so we're eating turkey sandwiches for the rest of the weekend.
Oh, and today, EVERYBODY goes shopping. Tomorrow too, but especially today. Whee! American consumerific culture! |

Noon? Now that I had not heard. That would not suit me at all: too early in the day.
I lived in the U.S. as a young boy, but I have no recollection of what the Thanksgiving traditions were there. Actually, if memory serves, my parents tried to maintain the Canadian Thanksgiving tradition there and we would celebrate in October with one or more of the other Canadian families living on that USAF base.

Like em both equally but when its tender, juicy and delicious I go for the white meat generally. But the question is moot as Jesse Jackson used to say, because the best part of a turkey is the nicely browned, crispy skin. Mmmm. Fat.

Doesn't matter to me really, but I'd take white over dark if I had to chose.
