turkey and chicken

[joe el]

why do turkeys and chickens have them little hats on the legs to cover were the bone is showing?

[andy-hughes]

It's just presentation - a little hat looks more attractive than a piece of bone sticking out.

i always thought it was to keep your hands free of the oily residue?

Bit of both really , but better suited for rack of lamb .
could just tuck in now .....
