      Exactly what it sounds like. People describe it as pretty close to chicken (which makes sense) though I find it is closer to turtle, especially texturally. The tail meat is particularly close to chicken. If you have never tried it, it’s pretty good. So are the legs. It is quite lean though, so you may need to add some fat from another source.

      I have heard people used ground alligator mix in minced blends alongside a fattier meat for burgers sometimes, but I haven’t tried it myself.
