Summary:A device for retaining and trussing the hocks of poultry carcass in juxtaposition and proximal to the body during processing, packaging, shipping, storage, and/or cooking. The present invention, including a hock retaining member, may be constructed of a unitary, plate-like member of resilient material and it includes two openings for fitting about and retaining the hocks, an anchor to be affixed to the poultry carcass, and a connecting member between the hock retaining member and the anchor. The connecting member provides a spring force to keep the hocks and thus the legs juxtaposed to the carcass and each other.
