so I had smoked wild Turkey today...holy ****
I **** yous guys not, this stuff was BETTER than ANY thanksgiving turkey I have EVER eaten. guy brined it 24 hrs and smoked it for 2. moist, delicious and not even slightly gamey. just OMG good.
I LOVE bird hunting but turkey has never appealed to me as you're in the woods when ticks and such are very active but damn if that stuff wasn't the best game meat I've ever eaten.

and I don't mean like 'oh wow, for game this is actually kinda tasty' good. I mean like 'I'll take another helping of the wild turkey please' even when there was fried rockfish (god forgive mel) next to it.

I've always heard wild turkey was tough. We lots around here, but the season is short & the locals don't hunt them or permit anybody to come on their property to hunt them. I'd like to try it some time, but would rather see the flocks of them roaming around the property.

lots of meat on the serving dish so COULD be I only ate from a very tender piece. host said bird was just breasted and my experience with smaller birds (and store turkey) is the entire breast will be of same consistency but who knows.
I guess at this point if offered wt of known origin I'd gladly accept. we hear turkeys quite a bit while water fowling in the fall/winter. I THINK our state might have an experimental jan turkey season. might have to consider it this year. though I understand it to be a very tough bird to fool.

Turkey done right is one of the tastiest meats you'll ever eat- problem is is that it's almost never done right!

Am I reading it right?; just a breast?
I have one half breast left. Think you could get his brine mixture?

Go and search "Trash can Turkey". It's the only way I will cook one, although I don't use a trash can but rather a beer keg that has the top cut out of it.

I'll see what I can find out. I know it had some sugar in addition to the salt and was brined nearly 24 hrs. He did say he followed the brine recipe carefully.
This guy has serious cooking skills so I don't doubt he was careful about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you nail it with the Beretta?
I'm jealous, I've been eating a lot of smoked fish recently, but Turkey - especially the real stuff sounds excellent. |
