Grilled Wild Turkey Strips
-Two wild turkey breasts cut into 1 inch strips across the grain of the meat.
-Three sticks butter, melted
-Juice of two lemons
-Two teaspoons salt – if unsalted butter, double.
-One teaspoon black pepper
-Two cloves of garlic, minced
-1/2 cup chopped cilantro
-Optional hot sauce to taste

Combine ingredients, add turkey meat in gallon Ziploc bag. Marinade over night, and use marinade to baste meat on the grill as it appears to dry out.

Thighs and Drumsticks
-Two drumstick
-Two Thighs
-One medium onion
- Two teaspoons of fresh or dried thyme, rosemary or sage (your tastes)
-Tablespoon of maple syrup
-Tablespoon Worcester shire sauce (optional)

In a large pot, cover two turkey leg-and-thigh quarters in chicken stock and bring to a low simmer. Add a chopped onion; two teaspoons of fresh or dried thyme, basil, rosemary, or sage; a tablespoon of maple syrup; and a tablespoon of Worcester sauce
Simmer at the lowest your stovetop can manage until the meat is fork-tender. (About 2 Hours)  Remove and pat dry and let cool. Place in the marinade with the breast meat once cool enough to handle.

Thanks, Rich!  I'll try this on the turkey I shot this week... from a kayak 

I have tried cooking wild turkey before and it smells like crap cooking does this  cure that? I think its from them eating grass.

It has a distinct taste. I often deep fry the strips, and they come out fine, but for sure, the legs are damn near inedible if you do not crock them or braise them. As far as the flavor, yes, this tames it very well. You can also soak overnight in buttermilk, but add spices! Rosemary is a great one, Pappy's is another great one to add to rosemary/buttermilk to soak them in over night. Hands down, the above is my favorite though.

To be more specific when it was cooked it was ok tasting but when it was in oven made the whole house smell like rotten grass. Do you still get the stinky smell when you cook it this way? If not i have a few dozen in my yard who will start to be marinaded in your recipe.

Just make sure you wash them well, if the guts break and get on the meat that happens. If you follow my pheasant video on breaking down a carcass, you should not have a problem. Cody cooked a gizzard off his, OMG! I almost threw up as soon as it hit my mouth. It was NASTY! stunk the house up like you are talking, he liked it though. So no, it shouldn't stink up your house, just clean the meat well and you should be ok.

Thanks I will give it a try if I can hit em with my pellet gun.

Thanks for the recipe Rich....will do that with the next bird.
 I jerky'd a couple birds from the neighborhood. ..I over dried it a bit so it's tough but tasty!

This is also my favorite marinade for Sage grouse and sharptail grouse.

Well, I'll have to try the strips on my next bird.  Linda wanted Chicken Divan tonight, so I am making Turkey Divan instead. 

If not i have a few dozen in my yard who will start to be marinaded in your recipe.

Been to Kanaka a few times and see a TON of them on the way.
Must be your yard I always see them in on my way. 

No shortage of turkey in this area.
