Cooking turkey?
 

any suggestions on the best recipe for cooking turkey breast? I've had it fried and really like it but wondered if there are other, easier to prepare recipes that are equally or nearly as good. I suspect it will be hard to match the fried recipe but maybe you can help.

Fried turkey strips are hard to beat. That is usually how I cook turkey. I have cooked turkey before in cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup. I boil the turkey pieces for about 25 minutes. I then mix one can each of the soups and add milk in a covered dish. I add just enough milk to make my soup a little thick, but not too thin. I then let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes on the stove. Serve with rice. You can add salt or seasoning to the soup mix. It just depends on how seasoned you want it. One other thing I do is make barbeque sandwiches with the leg meat. Debone the leg and thigh meat. Boil the meat for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Chop the meat up as fine as you want and add your barbeque sauce with it. They are pretty awesome.

Gave up cooking them years ago, I make the breast into jerky. Just made a batch today from a bird I bagged Saturday. Pretty simple, cut the breast into 3/16-1/4" strips, season to taste add a little cure and smoke for a few hours and let dry. It's poultry candy and very addictive.:cool2:

In a crock pot (slow cooker) all day. Add whatever you like for seasoning - salt, pepper and the like. My favorite is Caelas big Game rub. Chop up some onions and other stuff you like. Cover the meat with chicken broth. This will turn out tasting better than a Butterball at Thanksgiving.

I do this with the legs too. And Canada goose! Ideas are limitless when the meat is done cooking. Just eat it. Shredded with bbq sauce on a bun. As a hot "beef" sandwhich with taters and gravy. And I make a goose leg soup to die for.

I slice the breast into serving sized portions, sprinkle both sides with McCormack's original chicken seasoning, then just throw it on the george forman grill for a few minutes. It doesn't get any simpler or tastier than that.

drop the whole sucker in boiling water for 2 to 3hours, after the meat has falling apart and became tender i take the meat off the breast/bones and put it in a crock pot or slow cooker (what ever you wanna call it) and add your likings to it... if your going for a soup type put some broth in it along with carrots, sum soup noodles and butter, then crank it up on high and put the top on it....then the hardest part, waiting!

Fillet the breast and top of the thighs, cut the meat into bite sized pieces, throw the pieces into a large ziploc bag with cajun flavored fish bater until meat is completely covered, and then deep fat fry.
