The drummette? Drummie? (I'm thinking of chicken wings here but heck,
in terms of wing parts turkey wings are just bigger.) It gets confusing
what with posters from all over the world. IMHO (in my humble option)
that turkey wing 'tip' isn't good for much of anything.

I still enjoy meat as a main part of many meals, but not when I'm making
something like lentil soup. Or bean soup, for that matter. Not every
meal requires meat but it does add a little something to some soups.
