All carnivores love chicken due to its mild flavor and versatility; in fact chicken soup has been recognized as a cure-all comfort food for generations. For an exotic take on this meat, try tandoori chicken or sweet and sour chicken.

Those who like dark meats or aren't afraid of a little bit of fat rave about duck. This chewy meat pairs well with citrus, and is highlighted in dishes such as Peking duck, Duck a l'órange, and duck confit.

Step away from the chicken and cook with turkey tonight! Whether it's a roasted bird for Thanksgiving Dinner or grilled turkey breasts for a dinner for two, turkey is a delicious poultry option.

Tired of the traditional poultry options? Then set aside your duck and chicken recipes and take a look at pheasant, pigeon, and goose! These more exotic poultry options are a tasty alternative all year round.
