My mom used to make turkey croquettes, and I LOVE them...despite the fact that's what she was making when I stuck my finger in the meat grinder at the age of 3. No croquettes that year.SINSULL, my mother went to turkey breast when it was just her and me. We had cornish game hens for a couple of years, and that sort of became traditional. Your son is probably counting on some type of turkey, though. If your he's ok with a restaurant - go for it.
