How do you cook your wild Turkey?

[Mr56Jeep]

I'm just wondering what most do.  Do ya pluck'em and cook'em up like Thankgiving or do ya breast'em out and do some kind of stir fry or stew?

[MuleySniper]

I like to smoke em first... With a 12 gauge that is Normally just cook em like any other bird. We've just boned em out too and made soup.

I cut all the meat off the bones and chunk it up into about 1" squares and bread and fry it

[Austrian Hunter]

I only use the breast meat, cut it into strips and fry in peanut oil I still have all the legs and thighs in the freezer from years, never cooked them

[carpsniperg2]

The legs are a little tuff the thighs are good. I think you have to take and eat all the turkey or you could get a ticket for wasted game I like it all so it does not matter for me

Yes take the meat off the bone, save it up and make peperoni out of it! I don't think legaly you are allowed to just breast a bird and throw the rest away. I think that is considered waisting game.

Crock pot the legs until the meat falls off, mix in BBQ sauce and make sandwiches.

That is how I do most of my goose.  I figured Turkey was better eating than that?

[carpsniperg2]

Chunks fried up over rice with honey mustard and cury sauce. Good stuff. Crock pot with cream of mushroon soup is pretty good too. I agree the legs are pretty tough. I'm going to try grinding them up this year into burger for chili and see how that works. I've heard from a lot of people how terrible wild turkey is. I think it's the best wild bird I have eaten. Love the stuff.

I agree I like it. I have often thought about taking some burger and making turkey burgers with the meat. I think i might try it this year.

[JLS]

Yes.  Think Arnold Schwarzenegger legs on a pheasant.

[Tom Tamer]

I usually breast mine out, and make fingers or nuggets out of them. Makes a couple meals. The thighs baked in a BBQ sauce can make a meal for two. The legs and everything else I can, get ground up usually gives me a pound or 2 of burger. I too respect the bird too much not to try and use all the meat it provides. If I can't take the extra time to do that , then I shouldn't hunt them

[prophet]

I like to breast it, then pound out some slices. And make chicken fried turkeysteaks. With all the fixens.  I'll debone the rest of the bird and grind it into turkey breakfast sausage. Also I boil down the carcus for soup. And the gibblets fried up for snackin.
