Wild Turkey Recipes

[KMR85]

Anyone have any good wild turkey recipes to share? Got my first bird in 8 years and the last one I just deep fried for Thanksgiving. Anyone ever try making turkey jerky with a wild bird before? I don't have a smoker otherwise I would try that. Basically I got the grill, oven, deep fryer, and dehydrator. If anyone has a dynamite recipe for one of these cooking methods please share. Thanks!

i use a dry rub of salt, sugar, black pepper, and herbs like thyme/sage for a few hours, then throw on the grill. superb

Had several people over for my bird and they said it was the best turkey they'd ever had, and they'd never even had wild turkey before

I like mine poured of a few ice cubes.

I like my "Rare Eagle" that way

Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long to get that joke out!

I just did one last night. Cut the breast into chunks (golf ball size or so) and marinaded them in Italian dressing for a couple days, then cook them quick on a hot grill. DO NOT OVERCOOK! If you really want a treat, wrap them in bacon first.

Another favorite of ours, cut each breast half into 4 or 5 pieces, roll them in flour, brown in butter, then put them in a pan with a can of cream of chicken (or mushroom) soup. Bake covered at about 350 for an hour or so.

Both of those sound good DonBo. The first one is how I do pheasant but I use a different marinade. I might have to split up the bird into a couple different recipes and see what tastes best.

Take 1 side of the breast inject with youre favorite marinade [mine is garlic butter from king cooker]put it on the grill and add bacon for moisture kinda like donbos description, probably better do both sides of it you wont stop eating till its gone wow is it good ! i love turkey i prefera jake for deep frying they fit in there just right ,smokings good but itll take all day some butcher shops will do it when they do hams 10 bucks at mine ,if you roast em inject em and use the cooking bag again i prefer a jake for this one much more tender !

Do you grind the meat or do you cut it into thin strips?
