bfletch7441 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Since Turkey season is upon us, how does everyone like to cook their bird? I've had them fried, but have thought about smoking one this year. Anyone ever done that? Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Submerge it in the brine over night or 24 hours... Kick up you smoker to around 200 degrees and get your favorite wood soaking in water for about 30 min. to a hour... Set your wood in the coals and bird on the rack..Hang loose for 8-12 hours depending on the size of the bird... Enjoy.. Good Luck Too on Turkey season..

wtnhunt Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Re: Turkey Recipe\'s We smoke quite a few turkeys every year, my family really likes smoked turkey. Smoked a wild turkey breast after I got my new smoker last year, and it turned out ok, used maple, think it would have been a little better with mesquite or hickory.

Tominator Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Turkey Recipe\'s Yep. The one turkey I was lucky enough to kill was smoked. Very good. You won't be disappointed. I'd just make sure you have a good meat thermometer so it doesn't get over done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Turkey Recipe\'s I grill the breast fillets. Brush them both sides with olive oil and douse with garlic pepper. Grill over low heat for 1/2 hour or so. Mighty fine snappin'!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Re: Turkey Recipe\'s [ QUOTE ] I grill the breast fillets. [/ QUOTE ] I do the same thing with various marinates. If I am blessed with a bird this year I am going to try to make some turkey jerky with seasonings from High Mountain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachflock Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 LOL! I feel like such a greenhorn. I didn't do a lot of research on how to prepare a wild (vs domestic) turkey before I cooked mine. I just roasted mine like any other given bird. The breast and back meat was delicious - slightly less tender than a domestic but tasty enough even my picky 17 year old daughter commented on how good it was - a day after we ate! (anyone with picky kids knows what I mean). The drumsticks were TOUGH!!!!! You should have seen my two youngest (8 an 6) try to qnaw their way around it - it was comical. Hey, I didn't know! A couple of days after the roasted turkey meal I took what was left of the carcass, pulled all the meat I could off it, and boiled the bones for several hours to make a good turkey stock. I strained the stock, thickened it like you would a homemade gravy, threw in big chunks of carrot, celery, onion, potato, and remaining meat and let it simmer for about an hour. All my kids went bonkers over my "turkey stew". The young man that will likely be my future son-in-law commented it was fantastic. Can't beat comments like that.
