A cooling system for a turbine airfoil of a turbine engine having a trailing edge cooling channel with bifurcated exhaust channels formed by suction and pressure side trailing edge cooling channels in fluid communication with a central trailing edge cooling channel. The suction and pressure side trailing edge cooling channels may be separated with a trailing edge rib. The suction and pressure side trailing edge cooling channels may be recessed from the airfoil external surface to control the flow of cooling fluids from the cooling system such that the exhaust flow minimizes shear mixing and thus lowers the aerodynamic loss yet maintains high film cooling effectiveness for the airfoil trailing edge.
