Anyone have a good recipe for wild turkey breast on the grill?
I can cook some mean chicken fried turkey breast, but I'm in the mood for something different! Can someone tell me a good way to cook wild turkey breast on the grill? I'll be waiting for y'alls responses!
Yes it was very good. Wild turkey dry's out real easy but this was moist and tasty.
Tried deep frying a whole wild turkey breast once outside was burned and inside was not done.
Susan and Ken’s Wild Turkey
Cooks keep describing recipes for wild turkey that’s fried, but we think that masks the incredible flavor of fresh wild turkey. This is better – and healthier!
Clean a wild turkey. If you want to do the work to pluck it – great! (Dunk in boiling water first to make plucking easier. ) But we usually skin them because it’s so much less work. Keep in a waterproof bag on ice (even up to a week) until you’re ready to cook, then take out to get to room temperature.
Clean turkey well, then put in covered roasting pan – or put in open pan that can be covered with foil. Season well with fresh cracked pepper and Lawry’s seasoned salt on all sides and inside cavity. Put herbs (oregano, thyme, lemon thyme, basil, etc.) inside and out.
Cover in ~2 cups marinade:
1 c. white wine
½ c. Italian dressing
Lemon juice
Grated garlic and onion
1.4 c. sweet hot mustard (preferably Dawson Mustard)
Put ~1/2 stick of butter in small pats across top of turkey. Then cover with 2/3 of the marinade. Put a dish towel over the top to hold the marinade next to the turkey (important for a wild turkey, that has almost no fat) and place the rest of the marinade over the dish towel. Cover with top or foil and put in a 375 degree oven.
Cook for 4 hours for a 10 pound turkey; adjust up or down accordingly for size of the turkey. About once every 45 minutes, pull turkey out and baster heavily. (Wild turkeys are often skinny, so instead of placing breast up in the pan, you may have to place it on its side. If so, each time you marinade turn the turkey over, baste completely, then replace the dish towel and baste over the top of the towel.
When done, let sit for 5 minutes then serve with the basting fluids. Fabulous! (The family says yum!)
I have soaked them in Dales steak marinade or The Jack Daniels steak in a bag stuff. Then put it on a hot grill just long enough to get the marks and make the outside firm. Then Make a foil envelope/boat and put the breast inside with the left over marinade and seal it up. Put it back on the grill and check it for firmness. Time is going to depend on the temp.
Well, I got a brand new Bradley smoker yesterday and I shot a turkey last week! I thought, "what better way to break in the new smoker than to try that turkey recipe!".
It was beyond awesome!
