What's everyone's favorite way to eat them?! I have always been a fried nugget guy, however, smoked on the smoker with mesquite seasoning and mesquite wood is up there too! This is the first year I've pulled the legs off one and gonna try to make some enchiladas out of them this week! Looking forward to reading how y'all enjoy them!

Bring them awesome recipes guy and gals!!!
I to do the nuggets but I cut mine into fingers. Place in an egg bath then cotr them with Progresso Italian bread crumbs with a light amount of Lemon and Pepper added to the bread crumbs. Deep fry for 4-6 minutes.
I also grill or smoke with a mopped on Eastern Carolina type sauce. Great way to eat them but takes a while to do a whole breast in this manner, maybe an hour, or so.
nuggets for me. I shake them in a bag with Progresso Italian breadcrumbs and cook them in the air fryer. coat them with butter flavor cooking spray, shake them halfway thru and coat them again with the butter spray. you'll thank me later
cut the breast into chunks and season with Tony Chachere, then wrap in a half slice of bacon, stick a toothpick through it, and grill on an open flame. Even the women and kids will devour this
Cutt breast meat into 4x4 chunks , butterfly Cutt down middle , fill middle with cream cheese and jalapeños.
Wrap with bacon , season with any seasoning from La . We call em gobbler poppers .
Cook on grill
Cut breast meat into strips. Leave a couple chunks. Marinade in zesty Italian and coca cola for atleast 24 hrs.
Wrap strips around a mushroom/ banana pepper or both. Wrap with bacon and secure with toothpick and throw them on the grill. The chunks you can grill plain or wrapped in bacon.
Legs and thighs go into the crockpot for atleast 8 hours with a package of Lipton onion soup mix. The meat falls off the bone and the tendons are easily pulled out with a fork. Cook until no standing water is left in the pot. Serve as is or with BBQ sauce as pulled turkey sandwiches.
Nuggets for me and I cook the legs in a crock pot and make sandwiches out of them. Wanting to try jalapeño poppers this year with the breast!

I do the same but marinate it in Zesty Italian dressing. Also once someone suggested to use spaghetti noodles instead of toothpicks, they work just as good without the splinters, lol. Oh and a side of fried potatoes with wild ramps.

Some great recipe's! Thanks for sharing.
Fried is the only way.
Cut the breast into nuggets, marinated in buttermilk and hot sauce, dredged in seasoned flour, then fried is hard to beat! We've been turning the legs and thighs into carnitas with this recipe. It's might tasty...https://honest-food.net/turkey-carnitas/#wprm-recipe-container-23443
Fried turkey with mash potatoes, milk gravy, cream style corn, slaw and biscuits .... This is my favorite way....
We cut them into strips and soak them overnight in dill pickle juice then flour and salt and pepper and deep fry for 5 mins.
Cut a breast into strips
Cut and package of beacon in half
Mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and chopped jalapenos.
Lay down the bacon then stack the turkey strip then spoon on the mix. Roll into a pinwheel and screwer with a toothpick.
Broil at 375 for 15-17 minutes... Or cook over the grill.
I've done a "Pastrami" with the breasts and turned out great.
Brine the breasts anywhere from 1-3 days. Coat with rub: heavy black pepper, salt, garlic powder, coriander... Then smoke @ 250 for 1-1.5 hours.
Brining keeps them from drying out, may want to trim the ends to keep slices even.
Turkey Pot Pie!!! LOVE IT!
Our family favorite.
JAMAICAN JERK TURKEY BREAST
Try this for a little Caribbean twist on the grill.
This makes enough marinade for one boneless half of a wild turkey breast.
1 TBS Kosher Salt
1 TBS Garlic Salt
1 TBS Thyme
2 TBS Whole All Spice
2 Fresh Cubanelle Peppers or 6 Annaheim Peppers (remove stems and seeds)
1 Habanero Pepper (remove stem and seeds)
1/4 cup Peanut Oil
Thoroughly liquefy all ingredients in a blender.
Dry the turkey breast thoroughly with paper towels. (Helps it soak in the marinade and seasoning stick while cooking)
Put the turkey breast and marinade in a large ziploc bag. Shake it up to make sure the meat gets coated.
Refrigerate in marinade at least two hours before cooking. (Overnight is better!)
Grill the breast until done. The seasoning should stick and blacken while grilling.
Enjoy!
This is my favorite post that I've seen on this site. There are some new and great sounding recipes listed above.
For the breast I cut them into small cubes. Wrap it in bacon and season it with chili powder and brown sugar. Bake them and then cover in honey.
For the legs I cook them in the croc pot or boil them for about 8 hours. Pull the meat off the bone and then put some bbq sauce and butter on them.

X 2 Eating is always my favorite ... :TooFunny:
Inject with butter and creole seasoning. Cold smoke for about 6-7 hours. Then debone everything, roll in flour and fry with more butter with creole seasoning.
Yup, I have seen two here I want to try.
Nice sounding recipes guys!!!
My mouth is watering! Can't wait to try a bunch of these!

I just made this recipe Monday. Take legs and thighs and throw in a crackpot with cream of mushroom soup, Lipton powdered onion soup mix, and some chicken stock. Let them cook on high for like 4-5 hours, take the bones out, and throw in some onion, celery, baby carrots, and potatoes. Cook till everything is tender amd enjoy!
I throw one breast of each gobbler into the grinder and make a thai salad dish called nam sod with it. It's amazing. Cook the ground meat with minced garlic and a little salt. Let that cool. Make a dressing containing red chili paste, minced ginger root, lime juice, and a little fish sauce. Once meat has cooled add the dressing. Add thinly sliced red onions, grated carrot, and cilantro and mix. Garnish with roasted peanuts and mix again. It is good heated over rice or cold in a lettuce wrap. I prefer the cold lettuce wrap. Highly recommended, stuff is really good. It also works with the ground leg meat but I make breakfast sausage with that. Plenty of recipes on the google for the nam sod.
With the breast I make schnitzel, jalapeño poppers, nuggets. With the legs and thighs I have made carnitas. I have a recipe that I got from this forum for jalapeño cheddar sausage made from the legs and thighs that I have yet to try.
Fried strips.
Roll in wet pancake batter (minus sugar, add salt and pepper and creole seasoning)
Pull out of batter, roll in crunched up cornflakes.
Drop in the oil.
Crunchy deep fried deliciousness.
I have done it other ways, but just love it like this.
Soak in pickle juice over night. Dip in milk and then flour. Fry it lightly. Season as you'd like. You'll not be upset. And if you are, send it my way.

Wild turkey meatballs with gravy, mashed potatoes and a little lingonberry jelly on the side always goes over well at the house.
I have never been able to get legs and thighs tender enough to satisfy me! I have tried multiple times, but it is always chewy!!

Crock-pot..cook until it falls off the bone,can pull it apart with your fingers. Tacos,chili ,soup;all kinds of things you can use it in. I like them cooked in mushroom soup all day then pick all bones and tendons out and pour over rice .
I make Southern Buttermilk Turkey Fries. Cut breast across grain in to 1/4in. thick strips and then lay those strips flat and cut in half longways again. Soak in buttermilk and pickle juice at least for a few hrs. Dip strips in buttermilk egg wash and then flour with Zatarains Southern Buttermilk flour. Let the flour soak in and then coat them again right before you throw them in hot oil for around 2-3 mins. The result are crispy crunchy turkey fried that are the BEST I've ever had. Make some Ranch from the powder pack and use buttermilk, get some Rays chicken sauce, some hot sauce and get ready for your friends and family to praise you!

You just need to cook them (low and slow) longer. You'll know when they are done when the meat falls off the bone.
I cook mine in a crock pot with chicken broth, seasoning and a large onion. Just made enchiladas and pot pie a couple of days ago.
