1I don't think there is a well known cut called a "turkey chop." Can you provide a photo or description of exactly what the chop you have is?– SAJ14SAJDec 17, 2013 at 5:11

These are sections of turkey leg (drumstick) cut as to appear like a non-halal/kosher bone-in cut of meat, like a pork chop. The flesh is turkey, and hence not as robust as pork - treat more like a veal or lamb chop in terms of cooking technique, but season like pork or poultry. Here is a thread on Chowhound discussing various ways to prepare and serve.
