CAJUN DEEP-FRIED WILD TURKEY


(Courtesy of NWTF)


1 (10-15 lb.) unstuffed wild turkey


5 gallons peanut oil


2 tbsp. Cajun seasoning


1 stick butter or margarine


1/2 tsp. garlic powder


1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)





Pour peanut oil into a 10 gallon pot. Put pot on propane cooker and heat oil to 375 degrees. Have turkey completely thawed and dry turkey thoroughly. Tie two cotton strings around the carcass so bird can be easily lifted out of oil. Carefully submerge turkey in oil. Deep fry for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 minutes per pound and cook until turkey floats to the top. Remove bird from oil, and immediately dust heavily with cajun seasoning. Melt butter or margarine, and add to it garlic powder and cayenne, if desired. Brush turkey with butter mixture. Allow to cool 20 to 30 minutes before carving. Yield 12 to 16 servings.

No Brainer Smoked Turkey


Use a Brinkman style waterpan cooker. Mine is the two shelf model.





Brine turkey overnight in refrigerator. Use half cup of Kosher salt per quart. (Brining is optional) Remove from solution, dry with paper towels and rub turkey with olive oil In coffee grinder, grind fresh 2 tablespoons of peppercorns and coat turkey with the pepper





Place 10 lb. bag of charcoal (don't use self-lighting kind) in fire pan. Dowse charcoal with fluid and light. When flames die out, add hickory and mesquite chunks on top of charcoal. ( Do not wait until the coals are fully red. You want to start cooking before all of the coals are glowing and covered; just make sure the edges of the coals are lit and the flames have died. This keeps the bird from getting too hot.) Fill water pan to top with water.





Place turkey on grill. I usually use the top grill unless I have more than one bird. Cover with lid and resist all temptation to look inside. Never open the lid, side door or add water or more chips. It's not necessary after cooking begins.





I usually start the bird when I get home from work and let cook all night. I usually take it off in the morning before work and refrigerate, usually 10-12 hours in the smoker. The temperature by then is not cooking the bird.





I've never figured out what to do with the legs. Sometimes I breast out the bird, leaving the ribs and wings (large bone only)intact. I don't bother cooking a bird any other way as this is the most painless, fool proof way I know. I've yet to overcook a bird with this technique (except the legs they're usually goners no matter how I cook a bird.) Gil Stacy of Savannah, Georgia

Wild Cherry recipe





Scale ingredients to servings

1/2 oz cherry brandy


1/4 oz white creme de cacao


4 oz cherryade





Pour into an ice-filled highball glass. Garnish with a cherry and a sprig of mint, and serve.Does anyone have a recipe for wild turkey?
Take a shot glass, fill with two ice cubes, pour full with wild turkey. Chug and repeat.
Since the skins are usually taken off the wild birds, you'll need to keep the meat moist. I cook it the way I do a regular bird, it a cooking bag, but lay a few strips of bacon across the breasts.
buy some fryin magic seasoned coating mix, it is normally by the shake n bake at the store, cut your wild turkey into bite size pieces, then coat each piece in the fryin magic and then deep fry.... then eat its great and fast and easy.....

Wild Turkey %26amp; Rice


Ingredients:








2 cups Water





1/4 cup Raisins





3/4 cup Wild Rice





1/2 Apple





2 slices Bacon





1/4 cup Onion





1 cup Wild Turkey Meat





1 stalk Celery





1 tsp Chicken Base





1/2 Carrot





3 tbsp Soy Sauce





1/4 cup peas





1/4 cup chopped parsley





1/2 cup fresh mushrooms





1/4 cup Slivered Almonds





Pepper








Directions:








This is a great recipe for left over wild turkey, or you will have to cook and chop some wild turkey meat. Bring water to boil in medium saucepan, add wild rice (native northern Wisconsin Wild Rice is the best and cooks in about twenty minutes), reduce heat and simmer until rice is fluffy following package directions. Stir occasionally and make sure rice doesn't cook dry. Drain if necessary and set aside. Cook bacon in large deep skillet until brown. Dry bacon, chop and return to skillet, retaining bacon drippings in skillet. Add the chopped onion, diced celery, chopped carrot, peas, sliced mushrooms, almonds, raisins and cored and cubed apple to the skillet and cook slowly over medium heat until tender. Stir continuously. Next add cooked wild turkey breast meat that has been chopped, chicken base, soy sauce, parsley and pepper to taste. Fold in wild rice and serve hot.
Use a little Wild Turkey mixed with some chicken broth to slow-cook a roast pork. After browning the meat in some oil on the stove, cook it in a covered cast iron pot low and long--around 200 for at least five hours, the longer the better.
