I got a nice Osceola yesterday and have the breasts soaking in milk overnight. I plan to tenderize the meat using Adolphs meat tenderizer to minimize any toughness. I thought i would fry the breast into turkey fingers but wanted your opinion. Is this the best method or is there other ways to cook that are preferred?

pls advise. hope to cook monday night.

Here is what I do...

1.) Marinate to your liking (ex. lemon/garlic)

2.) Cut the breast into strips

3.) Grill them 80% done

4.) Cut them into bite size pieces

5.) Wrap each piece with bacon

6.) Broil until they appear done

7.) Eat them and enjoy!

I just cut the breast into strips, marinate in cheap zesty Italian dressing, and cook on the grill. It's quick and easy.

I think its hard to beat simply rolling it in flour and your favorite spices and frying it golden brown and crispy. I didnt think there was any other way to fix wild turkey! Save all those other recipies for the store bought birds.lol

I've cooked them a number of ways, from peanut oil, (the bird wholesale in the fryer which is really good), to the oven method and breasted turkey fingers. Personally, I prefer the boneless strips... marinated, then egg dipped to a roll in 4 Seasons seasoned bread crumbs. Pop 'em into the deep fryer until golden.

I'm going to have to try BHW's bacon wrap... that sounds really good too!

If you are going to flour and fry then soaking it in a milk/egg misture is the key. I put a 1/2 cup of milk and 1 egg and mix them and then let the breast soak in that for 10-30 minutes. It holds the moisture in the meat much better.
