Abstract

A small poultry limb, such as a turkey drumstick, is clamped to a longitudinally movable ram. The limb is thrust by the ram through a first resiliently flexible stripping device and a second stripping device. The bone passes through the stripping devices but the skin and tendons clamped to the ram are held and turned back over the ram thus exposing the meat for stripping.
