Abstract
An apparatus and method for removing poultry tenders from at least partial poultry carcasses. The apparatus and method preferably employ an elongate pair of stationary blades through which the carcasses are conducted prior to being processed by at least a pair of plows positioned on apposite sides of the keels of the carcasses. The edges of the elongate blades are spaced apart and inclined such that the blade edges receive the keels therebetween and guide the carcasses in their path of travel while cutting into the carcasses along each side of the keels.
