Recipes for wild turkey drumsticks

[WalleyeDrifter]

I've got a couple legs and thighs from last spring's wild turkey. Does anyone have a good recipe for me? My smoker is buried under the snow and so I'll probably be looking at a crock-pot or slow cooking oven method. Thanks!

I haven't done this for wild turkey but I mix Lipton onion soup mix with a can of chicken broth and pour it into the bottom of a roaster. Then I put in the turkey legs, cover and cook at 250 for around 3 hrs or until fall apart turning them once or twice through the cooking. The dripping make good gravy for mashed potatoes.

I boil wild bird legs and make pheasant/turkey salad sandwiches.

Since they are so tough from running and flying all over he!!. Here is my recipe.

Cut them off the bird, wait until cleaning and wrapping the rest of the bird up. Lift the top of the container and put them in and let them rest and age a few days until the garbage man comes by and picks them up!

No, no, no. I used to do this too, but lately I've put those legs and thighs in a crock pot with chicken broth and cooked until fall-off-the-bone tender. I was amazed at the quantity of meat I got. You can use it for soups or enchiladas or in sandwiches or whatever. A shame to waste that much meat when we get such few opportunities at these great birds.
