What Is a Turkey Crown?

Simply put, a turkey crown is the breast of the bird, but without the legs and wings. Crowns can be cut in one of two ways: retaining the backbone or without the backbone. Because these are smaller, they are ideal for feeding fewer guests or guests who only enjoy white meat.
