bklimek, I had some from my cousins this past June. What they did was debone and cube then put in your favorite marinade for 24 hrs. heat oil and deep fry til done. Serve with homemade potato chips. Enjoy Scheuney

I have never tried deep frying a wild turkey and would like your thoughts and recipes to how and the best way prepared.

If you have a turkey fryer..to be able to do the whole bird, try this.

have the bird thawed (or fresh) can remove the legs as they will overcook anyway. Dry the bird w/ papertowels. Rub w/ olive oil and sprinkle heavily with a rub of your choice....I like to blend 1/2 Cajun (King Kooker brand, I think) w/ 1/2 poultry seasoning. Leave in the fridge for 12-24 hours prior to cooking for the flavor to go thru (I think longer is better). The bird should look like it has a red/gold coat. Can sprinkle additional on if there are any "bare" spots prior to cooking. Preheat oil//I fry in canola oil (350degrees)until it reaches proper internal temp recommended. It may look burnt on the outside but trust me...tender and juicy. Never had any complaints and hardly any leftovers (which are also good).

takes about an hour to cook a skinned wild turkey (20-25 lbs "on-the-wing")

a testimonial is that my now 16 year old daughter asked for this for her special birthday meal. This Dad was honored.

Puncture liberally and soak overnight in apple cider. Drain, pat dry and continue with your other favorites.
