Are turkey chops just cut from the turkey or is this processed meat somehow attached to a bone? Co-workers and I have a bet….can you solve this one?

New for them, new for me. There's just the circular bone in the middle, which made them very easy to eat. Compared to cross-cut turkey legs (LOTS of little bones) these thigh chops are a joy.

Our butcher growing up would have turkey chops regularly (if not all the time) and we would grill them frequently. They do stand up to just about any preparation method you'd like to use. We typically marinated for a little bit before grilling (typically a teriyaki sauce base) and everyone enjoyed greatly. I saw similar chops at The Butcherie a while ago, but they weren't the same good chops I had at mom's house. They were a little bonier (with extra bones beyond the central circle), and that made for less enjoyable eating. Hopefully, Empire has solved that problem.
