1 wild turkey breast half 8 ounces zesty Italian salad dressing 8 ounces white wine 1 small reynolds oven cooking bag creole seasoning lemon pepper seasoning 1⁄2 cup butter 2⁄3 cup olive oil
Mix the dressing and wine. Pour into a 1 gallon size zip-lock bag. Add the turkey breast and marinate overnight, turning at least once. Drain off the marinade and discard. Sprinkle turkey breast with the seasonings. Place in oven roasting bag. Melt the butter in the olive oil and add to the turkey breast. Place the roasting bag & turkey breast in a 9x5 loaf pan.

For something simple and not fried. Hard to keep wild turkey moist!!

Yep, fried breast is the best. Dressing made with the dark meat is pretty good as well. Dark meats good for turkey salad too made just like chicken salad but better.

I tried this the other day and it was really good. Turkey fajitas.
Put 1 breast in crockpot with a pack of fajita seaoning and 2 or 3 bell peppers cut up , about cup and a half or 2 of water. cook on low about 5 hours. open lid and shred breast with 2 forks, stir and let set on warm setting for about a hour. Put on tortilla with cheese and whatever else you like

Fried turkey breast is hard to beat.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

I'll be trying Maggie's baked version and the turkey fajitas. Thanks.
I cook the legs and thighs in a crock pot all day (8 hours on high) with 2 chicken buillon cubes, a diced onion, salt and pepper. I then pull all the meat off the bone to make a stew or gumbo.

Put on tortilla with cheese and whatever else you like Credit where it's due on this. I cooked this just as described and my wife says it's easily her favorite turkey recipe. I liked it too but I'll do it a bit different next time. The recipe as described is incredibly easy for those that like crockpot cooking. Next time I'll leave the onions and peppers out of the crockpot because they get a bit too soft. I'll cook the turkey in the crockpot but I'll sauté fresh veggies to go with it so they're not as soft. Thanks again. This was a great idea.

A couple of ways we like it:
1. Fried Strips or Nuggets - soak in buttermilk or pickle juice (try the pickle juice - its good!) for a day or so, dredge in seasoned flour, and drop in some hot grease.
2) Strips pounded thin with a meat mallet and pan fried like cube steak or spread cream cheese and jalapeno on them, roll them up, wrap in bacon, and grill.
3) Legs and thighs - boil in seasoned water, pull meat from bone and run through food processor, mix in mayo, celery, etc. for turkey salad.

I grill mine and its juicy as hell. I brine it overnight and then mix up my own cajun butter sauce with melted butter,creole seasoning,garlic,onion powder, and lemon juice and baste it while grilling. Sometimes i will inject the homemade baste into the breast. I always have some pecan wood on with everything i grill. Blum, are you slicing or cutting the breast prior to grilling or grilling it whole? If you're grilling it whole, how do you keep the skinny end from cooking more than the fat end? Every piece I've tried, the skinny end was dried out by the time the thick end reached 160 in the center.

Has anyone ever tried smoking the dark meat? I cannot imagine it'd come close to anything resembling good. Most meats that are smoked have high fat contents and the slow cooking helps melt those fats away and leaves the meat moist and tender. A turkey leg and thigh is just about pure muscle with little or no fat. If you smoke a wild turkey leg, I bet you'll need the jaw muscles of an alligator to chew it.
