Turkey Recipe for a skinned bird

[riverrat56]

I need a turkey recipe for a skinned out wild turkey.

It seems that when you and your dad have gone 7 years with out shooting one, and then get 2 on back to back days, that you are a bit unprepared. We are getting one smoked, but what to do with the other?

Turkey ala king

The one you are getting smoked has the skin on it correct? Otherwise they are going to need to wrap it in a blank load of bacon for it to turn out! Just curious and trying to help you not turn a bird into shoe leather!

There is a recipe for grilled apple pheasnt a few thread's down that I bet would be really good with a wild turkey just soak it a little longer and cook it a little longer (plus I think I would inject the bird with marinade also. Also I would think it would be good in dumplings.

No they were both skinned.....I have eaten birds smoked from this place that were skinned before and they turned out very good. I had someone help me clean my bird who has always gotten his smoked at this meat locker before and he has always skun them. I guess I'll be plucking every bird from now on.

I have brought them to my butcher skinned and they have smoked them, they turned out awesome.

I've been thinking of doing the smoking thing too this year. How much is it to have done from a butcher, I hear Manea's out of Sauk Rapids does decent work. Trying to decide whether to do it myself or have it done for me.

When I have my pheasants smoked it's like a buck and a half a pound. I don't think you could do it yourself for that price?

My dad got one last year and he injected it with butter and garlic and deep fried it yummy.

Cut the breast off and marinade in Zesty Italian Dressing for about 5-6 hours. Cook slowly on the grill until just pink inside. Yeah, it's good!! I'm actually doing this today, can't wait!
