Our Country Club Turkey Breast is the ultimate roast. The superior flavor and juiciness is perfect for roasting and the leftovers are perfect for sandwiches throughout the week. In addition, our seasonally available Fresh Natural Whole Birds are unsurpassed in quality.
Metropolitan Market Duck has less fat and more lean meat than ever before. In fact, USDA information released in 2001 shows that skinless White Pekin duck breast is lower in fat and calories than skinless chicken breast and is comparable in fat and calories to skinless turkey breast. By properly cooking other duck dishes, you can eliminate 70% of the fat, which leaves a delicious, crisp skin that adds to the distinct flavor of the meat.
Metropolitan market makes preparing duck very convenient with our fully cooked roasted duck half or pre-marinated duck breasts, you’ll find that preparation of these premium items takes just minutes.
While duck is poultry, it is very different from chicken and turkey because it’s a red meat. This means that a well-prepared duck breast eats more like steak than chicken and is slightly pink in the center when properly cooked to an internal temperature of 160º F. Different from other read meats, however, duck is very lean and low in saturated fat. |
