Dear cecil,
Why turkey and turkey product not included in chinese cuisine. The chinese cuisine basically includes lots of chinese vegetables, pork, duck, chicken and lots of sea food and beef but never turkey or turkey products. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
Yes, I agree with you. It is quite true that the traditional Chinese cuisine does not include turkey.
More commonly, the Chinese rear goose, ducks and chickens. Perphaps, the turkey was less well known thus not popular with the Chinese. (My personal guess).
I believe, the turkey is less well known and personally, the meat is coarse as compared to those of other smaller birds.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
