Smoke em if you get em

Thats what I will be doing. Soak in apple juice for 24 hours and inject some into the breast and legs and then smoke for 18 hours with alder.

Are you doing that in a smoke house? At what temp? The apple juice idea sounds absolutely awesome :drool:

 I'll once in a awhile make nuggets out of the breast, egg,flour and a mixture made up of pepper, lemon pepper, cayenne, brown sugar, cinomin(sp.) garlic powder,mustard powder, fry that up in a cast iron skillet

I just took last year's Tom out of the freezer, marinated it in Terrijo sauce, alder smoked it and made jerky out of it.  Most of the time the bird is tough as hell anyway so might as well make jerky.  I often take the dark meat and make a gumbo with that.  The kids and friends always gobble it up. :cue:

Yes, yes, and yes.  You can do any of those methods.  I've done all 3 and of course breasting them is easiest but I read a thread on here a while ago about a guy getting a "wasteing game" ticket so I'm not sure breasting only while in the field is even legal.  Once your home it's your call.  Plucking them takes some time and makes a big mess of pin feathers..  I heard somewhere they have 5000 feathers so ??  There has been other threads on here about the legality of cleaning and transporting turkeys. If I'm ;ucky enough to get one this weekend I'm probably going to skin it.  Split from the bung to the ribs like anything else and clean it out is how I do it??   :dunno:   Good Luck!
