Italian term or phrase: carnetta

Comparing meat etc. from several breeds and crosses:

"E’ risultato che il coscio, la spalla, il petto, l’ossobuco e la carnetta dell’ibrido XXX hanno dato le rese più elevate in carne, con la minore percentuale di osso e di grasso."

meat scraps

Explanation:
I found a helpful "tesi" that provides an answer. If you do a "find word" on the page you'll see the following: "[...] preparato con la carnetta, cioè con quelle parti muscolari difficilmente vendibili come tali."

Parts of the muscle system that cannot be sold "as is"? Must be cheap leftovers?

Maybe "trimmings," "discards," or "ground meat"?

Maybe better to say "muscular remains/scraps".
