    What's the difference in grams/kg between the chicken fillets and turkey breasts?

    There's very little difference in protein by weight.

    Free range always costs a lot more anyway.

    is there much of a difference in buying free range obviously price wise there is?

    The chickens will have enjoyed living a bit more...gambolling around the fields and such.

    How do you define quality?

    Taste?

    Can't say I've ever noticed a massive difference.

    quality as in free range id imagine is healthier, higher quality of protein

    I have never see turkey breast for much cheaper than the cheapest chicken breasts in tesco, in fact its often more expensive.

    Protein & fat content is about the same. I always guessed many people are used to overdone superdry christmas turkey -and so think the fat levels are very different.

    And just like chicken thighs, I often hear on TV about turkey being so cheap, but I just don't see it in supermarkets I am in, that goes for chicken thighs too (when you work out the actual meat weight minus the bones)
