Does it have a dill pickle taste when done?

Depends on how long you let it marinate. The acidity helps tenderize the meat.

I really enjoyed this. The nuggets fried version. I will say, I cant enjoy wild turkey unless its marinated or brined. I smells like wet dog to me otherwise.

 

[Dafis]

cut into strips, dip in eggs, roll in seasoned flour and deep fry.
Do not like things tasting like salt/brine and as you all know, I do not like things that taste like a house just burned down either. But that is me.

After posting here I remembered that I had a 1/2 breast from last year left in the freezer so I thawed it out and cut it into chunks. Now I’m torn between the pickle brine & deep fry or just marinating and grilling it. It’s a lot easier to just throw it on the grill 🤔

 

[Oldloggy]

Marinate in pickle juice for 12 hours. Cube up. Beer batter, bread and fry them babies up. Turkey nuggets with a home made Chic-fil-a sauce. Ohhh my lawwwwd.

With some sweet tater fries & Cole slaw.

Now your talkin!

 

[Oldloggy]

Cut into chicken strip size pieces, salt & pepper, flour, egg, then flour again. In that order. Fry till golden brown. Sometimes we mix sweet baby rays with mustard for dipping.

Marinated in the McCormicks for 6 hours then grilled hot n fast to 160-165 IT. I had too much going on today to do it but, cooked on charcoal this would be even better!

If you haven’t tried this stuff it’s great on chicken too. A little heat but not over the top.

 

[roosiebull]

no it sure dont fall apart. lol speaking of that. most guys toss the dark meat because its incredibly tuff. i grilled some one time and the cats couldnt even chew it up! then i learned to deal with it and its fantastic. i treat it like a beef roast. toss the cut up dark meat into the crockpot(instant pot faster) pour in beef broth to 3/4 cover the meat. season lil heavy like a big roast and chunk up a large onion and few stalks celery. set crock pot on high and cook till tender 4-5hr. eat it like that or shred it and mix bbq sauce in it for sandwiches. i have chopped it up and added to gravy on toast. pretty sure that was ____ on the shingles dish long ago. lol

i put carrots and taters in there to. when done and remove the meat, you have a bunch of broth to make gravy real fast(corn starch and water mix).

Yep, legs/thighs go in the pressure cooker, and I can’t imagine throwing them away, I like wild turkey breast, but my favorite is pressure cooked legs/thighs. I generally pressure cook them down, until I can get the meat off the bone, then add some rice, cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, and cook a short time longer. One of my favorite meals, simple and good

 

[pbuck]

I always save the legs and thighs. Pressure cook em till tender then shred the meat and make this turkey salad. It’s great on a croissant. Add some diced up craisins.

 

[pcnyruttn]

Probably turkey salad the best,,,,I boil the breasts in a strong seasoned chicken stock, after it cools, chop red bell pepper, onion, celery, and green onion, some dijon mustard and mayo.

 

[joesandi]

Here is what I did with my last one.
Brine: 1/2 cup kosher salt, 1/8 cup maple syrup, 1.5 cups apple juice and water. Mix together, inject in breast and brine overnight.
remove breast and pat dry. Butterfly breast season with garlic pepper and lawerys. Roll into log and tie. Smoke at 225 for 3 hours and raise to 250 remove at IT 165 (+/-4.5 hrs) Let rest and slice. Used left over for sandwiches.

As for legs and thighs, I cut meat off bone and grind and make turkey jerky.

I don’t know how it’s gonna work, but I just put 1/2 a wild turkey breast in the crock pot with some chicken broth. I’m gonna cook it in there for 8hrs, then take it out, cut it up, and make a pot pie out of it.

I’ll report back later with results!!!!!

Cut breast into small pieces, flower, and drop into hot peanut oil. That's it.

 

[basnbuks]

deep fried, inject with creole butter over night, cut into chunks, batter with a cajun fish fry, imo only way to do wild turkey!!

 

[Bisch]

The turkey breast pot pie is in the oven. I think it’s gonna be really good!!!!!
