Tasty Turkey
I'd like to share these recipes with all of you. The Spiedie originated in my area. We even have a huge Spiedi fest during the summer. If you don't want to try it with a wild Turkey try these recipes on Chicken,lamb,pork or Venison.
Spiedies (pronouced Speedies) are a very yummy grilled "sandwich" that
originated in or around Broome County, NY
Meats such as pork, chicken, beef, lamb or venison are cut into bite size pieces and marinated in spiedie sauce for 24 to 48 hours. Then the meat is skewered like shish kabobs and and grilled. The traditional way to serve them is to fold a piece of sandwich sized Italian bread and place meat in the center. Then you can spoon more fresh marinade over it and enjoy. Most restaurants in the area serve them as submarine sandwiches.
