Abstract
An apparatus for producing boneless turkey breasts comprises a conveyor for supporting an upper half of a turkey along a first path, and a separate conveyor for securing the wings of the turkey and pulling them away from the first path as the upper half is pivoted away from the wings, to pull the breast meat from the carcass. The wings are subsequently cut from the breast fillets by a rotary cup knife which is directed over and around the shoulder joint.
