The season is here, so share something tasty ! I've got mine marinating in Italian dressing now, but I really don't wanna throw it on the grill, so I'm looking for some pointers.
What's your favorite turkey breast recipie ?

I usually chunk it up, bread the pieces and deep fry them... Then toss in whatever your favorite wing sauce is. It's pretty tough to beat as far as taste and simplicity goes.
Turkey pot pie is another good one. Although that one is especially good with the dark meat... Cook the legs in a crock pot until they fall apart they mix into the pot pie filling.

We making shredded turkey sandwiches out of it. Really simple and the kids love it.
I cover mine in Texas Pete and do it open faced style.

Shreaded turkey sandwhiches, a turkery stew recipe someone on here came up with, breaded and fried, turkey pot pie.
I've only had it a few different ways but the best I've had was soaked in italian dressing and cooked on charcoal.
I will also add that we cook the legs and it is great. Makes me wonder why people don't eat them.
Are you talking about wild turkey? Am I under the correct assumption that this is what this threads about?
I've had plenty of wild turkey legs that were delicious. But, they're a pain in the ass in my opinion. I'm usually 50/50 whether I keep them or not.
Yes, my neighbor usually kills one and gives us the meat. I've never killed one myself.
I'm gonna freeze half the meat & keep it for my spring fling coming up in another week. Since I already have the other half in Italian dressing, I'll add a seasoning mix & bread crumbs & fry it in strips. A lot of good ideas here ! It's been so long, I can't remember what I did to my other birds.

Been a few years ourselves but we did the breasts in the crock pot with onion soup mix til it fell apart. Made gravy from the juice and just had it as a regular turkey dinner with all the fixings.

Cutting the breast into nuggets and frying is hard to beat, or barbecue sauce, or hot sauce...
Something not many do, but is well worth the effort is plucking. Honestly, it is not at all difficult. Using a turkey fryer, get the water up to 165 degrees, soak the bird for < 30 seconds and peel the feathers off. Repeat soaking when needed. I don't know why more folks don't do it. We usually do half the birds we kill this way and it is not nearly the ordeal some make it out to be. You can then fix the bird as you would any domestic turkey, and they are delicious. I'm not at all afraid to kill a Jake, I don't mind the ribbing Mason gives me about it all, because a Jake prepared this way IS better than a big old boss tom.
