Does anyone have any recipes for Wild Turkey(smoked or unsmoked)?

I use this one all the time. I breast the tom and then cut the meat into strips about as big as a dollar bill. My wife pounds it a little to tenderize the meat and looks for shot then I marinade it in Italian dressing for a day. I roll a mildly hot pepper slice up with a strip of turkey then wrap a piece of thick cut bacon the other way and stick a tooth pick through it. I cook it on low in the BBQ real slow with the cover down so the bacon doesn't burn. It is real good and has a smokey flavor and is a great way to eat wild turkey.

heres a few

Stuff bird with mix, apple, carrots, celery, and onion and stuffing mix. You may cook the birds slowly at 350 degrees F or quickly at 450 degrees F. Wild Turkey is much drier than supermarket turkey. Be sure to baste often with a mixture of butter and wine or butter and broth. The time required will depend on the size of the bird and the desired amount of doneness. Turkey will need 20 minute to the pound. at 350 degrees F.

one jar of apricot preserves with added canned or dried apricots

I have a small Smoker, and I swear by smoking the whole bird. I simply use hickory chips, and a small pan water for moisture. I can't stop eatting it when done. I orginally used the Cajun Cooker w/charcoal, and that worked well too, but took alot longer to cook. I have a Cabelas smoker now w/propane. Takes half the time.

Take the breast of the turkey cut it up into small chunky pieces. Then dip the pieces in Drakes batter and the deep fry. Its very good...
