They thought for sure that would send the "white man" packing.

Try chislic with the breast it seals in what little moisture there is.

Cook them down and make what mom called, running gear gravey.

Y’all must have different wild turkeys, lol. I’d take a wild bird over a store bought any day of the week and twice on Thanksgiving. It’s juicier, more tender, and just plain taste better. When we go on trips we’ll fry them up in a pan with some taters...or even grill them. Rarely get to bring some actual meat home. We eat’em as we kill’em.

Like TrapMaster said over night in the crock pot with what ever herbs and spices you prefer. Pull of the bone, then you can do numerous things with them soup, sandwich, with noodles. You didn't get this bird a KFC for gods sake. I swear most people have never been hungry.

Anyone ever deep fry the whole wild bird in a turkey fryer? Its the best way to cook a tame bird, but wild ones have much better flavor.

I swear most people have never been hungry.

Well,..that works!..

I just bone the whole turkey out and slice thin and fry with beer batter

KIll the bird . Take a pic . Pop out the breast . Throw rest of it away .Cut the breast in 1 inch squares and roll in flour ,. Fry it . eat it !!!!

I've eaten alot of wild turkeys over twenty years of hunting with liberal limits.... and I love to eat the legs off a roasted bird the day after. Definitely tougher but good eating for me. Every part of the bird should be eaten.

I had the legs off a deep fried turkey once and they were better. How you roast it matters too.

You have to be a good cook to prepare a turkey for eating. There's a lot of skill involved in cooking a turkey properly. I would love to eat a deep fried turkey. Those of you bad mouthing turkey haven't been hungry recently.

Killed a 27 1/2 pound gobbler. Scalded and plucked him like a chicken. Cooked it in an electric roaster pan over night and there wasn't a piece of that turkey that wasn't good and tender. legs were just as tender as any other piece. people always told me you couldn't eat anything but the breast.

I make BBQ out of the wild turkeys I kill.

I boil the legs for two hours then throw the rest of the carcass in for an additional two and a half hours. I pull it all out and let it cool then shred the meat, you'll end up with a mostly clean pile of bones.

I fry some onions, celery and garlic in the same stock pot I boiled the turkey in.



Then I add a sauce I make with a bunch of different ingredients.



Then add the shredded turkey back in.



I serve on a Kaiser bun with relish and BBQ sauce.



An average size spring gobbler (18-20lbs.) will yield about a gallon of BBQ.

Lugnut just showed you how much meat you will waste if you throw those legs away. I cook the legs half a day in a crock pot and and it pulls apart easily and is tender. Makes beautiful soup too. Waste not want not..

You call that a BBQ,lol.
Here,BBQ means meat cooked on an open fire.

That's all the meat, not just leg meat.

I've eaten enough wild turkey legs in the last 30 years I don't need to eat any more. They're edible. But not good.

What you canuks call bacon we call...well I can't say without avoiding the profanity filter.

You's have a lot of other stupid names for stuff too.

So what's your point?

Just trolling again?

Crockpot.Come out very tender
