What are the "two ways"?
I can verify that indeed, the third picture is raw turkey testicles. And they're usually bigger than ours. They don't have much taste and are culinarily useless, IMO, but are good for shits and giggles on social media.
And I have first-hand experience to know that you can't fry them or they'll explode and look like picture #2. Amiright? :-)
The first way is a Mustard and Sourdough coated testicle with a rum raisin and black garlic sauce topped with a caper and turmeric cream sauce.
The second way is a grilled testicle stuffed with prosciutto, dates, walnuts and parsley with a walnut vinegar glaze and dusted with vinegar soaked walnuts.
I wouldn't say they are culinary useless but the flavor is very mild but pleasing with a consistency of foie gras, hence the other ingredients that I added. I wanted to try something a little more exciting than a standard breading and fry.
And yes, they do have a membrane that that needs to be punctured or they will explode. The first picture was the best looking out of 4 that I did this way, the other 3 split open. I did learn that it is very difficult to stuff them, which is why the second picture looks the way that it does. But undeterred I kept on and grilled them. Overall, I would make them again if my neighbor ever gifts me some more.
So! My curiosity is asking what do they taste like?
Nutty
lol. The flavor is very mild and not disgusting at all. Similar to a very mild and less fatty foie gras.
