I never used a set of poultry shears until I was given one as a gift.

This one is Cuisinart, but I have seen the same shears marked with
different brands.

Once I used them, I was sorry I went so long without them. When cutting
wings or spatchcocking a chicken or turkey, they can't be beat for
removing the backbone. I use them a lot more than I ever thought I would.

That one is similar to mine. Good and easy to use.

It doesn't require strength to cut a bird into parts, all it needs is
a working knowledge of bird anatomy because you take it apart at the
joints. That said. I don't use scissors on turkey either, but I
don't cut them up into parts. I debone them and leave the carcass
whole. To do it, I use a boning knife, a chef's knife and my
fingers. After that, I use my hands to break things up enough to fit
into the stock pot.
