I've never heard of that idea. Will check it out. Now I may have to get a PVC
cutter, although I suppose a bolt cutter would work for a turkey leg - unless
it's a 40lb'er.

Julia does it with a cleaver.

Nope, don't want to cut through the bone, want to cut through the joint and
leave the bones intact.

Does she spatchcock turkeys?
I was talking about cutting off the end of the drumstick.

I suppose she would break the joint and separate the cartilage with a
knife like you do. She did something like that when she was prepping
the turkey but I don't remember the details. I know before it went in
the oven it didn't look like the Norman Rockwell turkey but it cooked
evenly. It looked like too much work to me. I did like the idea of
getting the tendons out tho. It makes it a lot easier to recover the
drumstick meat for the platter.

I might have to invest in one of these:
