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

Wild turkey and dumplings.

Skinned, stuffed,wraped in bacon, then smoked at 225 for  4-6 hrs. Can't wait.

I get two crockpots going in the kitchen. I put my breasts in one and the legs in the other. I put those breast in and then cover them up with chicken stock until they are completely submerged. I also do it almost the same for the legs and I proceed to cook for anywhere from 6-8 hours. Once that time is up, I pull out the breast and shred them up. I then have all the meat I need for a huge crock pot of wild turkey chili. Once the legs are done, I gather up all the meat that has fallen off the bone. Spring turkey always falls around the birthdays of my two labs so they get treated to turkey dinner. For the next week, I make them each big bowls of white rice and turkey. It's also a thank you to them for all the great times we had that year in the duck blind. I don't know what's better, the taste of that chili or seeing how excited those two get from their week long feast.

I peel and core an apple, place it in the cavity of the turkey and bake it inside of a plastic baking bag.  We have turkey dinner that night and then I pull all the meat off the carcass.  I mix the light and dark meet into 3-5 portions depending on the size of the bird and place in ziplock bags in the freezer for sandwich meat in the next few weeks.

Skin it.  Cover it with uncooked bacon.  Put it all in an oven bag and seal up.  Cook in oven.  Yum.

I like to skin and keep the breast, legs, and thighs, not much left after that. I especially like to cube the breast, sprinkle with Johnny's, and fry with a little butter.

We use the turkey bags and cook it in the oven like we do a store bought turkey.

Normally, I'll preheat the oven to 325, get out a big pan with onions, carrots and celery. Put in about 4 cups of water and put the turkey tag right in the middle. I cook until the pain goes away, usually about 4 drinks and it's done.

Pluck and clean ... inject marinade, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, and deep fry 3-1/2 minutes per pound at 350.  Some times I'll inject 1/2 with one marinade such as garlic butter with herbs and the other side with a different kind such as hot and spicy.  Yum ......

 :dunno:    Guilty as charged, but in my defense, you still need to send me your updated e-mail ...

1 to 2 oz of marinade per pound, sprinkle inside and out with the Cajun seasoning, add to 350 degree oil (slowly), and let cook for 3-1/2 minutes per pound.   Carve and eat to your hearts content ... :drool:
