We did Panko breader on the Rio breasts last year and fried them. A little diferent taste from breaders I'm used to, and turned out very well. I think we breaded them, then dipped them in beaten egg and put them in the skillet. Something like that...something different than what I do, which is dip them in egg and THEN bread them. Heck, maybe they were breaded twice. I mean, like, who really nos all this stuff anyway?
As far as something that's not breaded, I like to put them in an Oriental stir fry. I just get a meatless stir-fry in a bag from the grocery store.
I'll also use wild turkey in any chicken and rice recipe, such as a bog or perloo. Also, my mom used to make a simple tettrazini but I haven't been able to duplicate it. I'm to the point that I might have to call my sister to see if she knows the secret. I don't have my recipes handy right now, but I'll dig some of them up if there is interest.
In the meantime, here's a very basic perloo and a fancier tettrazini than what I'm used to, but it sounds yummy:

I expect that you can improvise on the tettrazini with some cream of mushroom, less or no garlic and no wine. You might even forego the green stuff. My mom's version was just a gooey mash of noodles, creamy sauce and meat (turkey or chicken) with a few peas LOL, plus a bit of spice, but probably not much more than a dash of anything. I know she didn't spend a lot of time whipping it up. It's great for throwing leftovers in from a whole bird that you cooked previously.

And obviously, on the perloo recipe, you don't discard the meat as it says...LOL...You discard any skin and bones...:bang:
4.) crookedeye - 03/17/2013
thanks swampman i might have to try one of those..
5.) Swamp Fox - 03/17/2013
This is motivation for me to nail down a tettrazini recipe.. I'm going to do a chicken bog or perloo for a hunt club meeting coming up in about six weeks, and I'm in the process of organizing all my recipes "sometimes this year" so when I get a second I'll give you some "real" recipes...although the whole point of perloo, in particular, is to just throw a bunch of stuff in a pot willy-nilly..."almost" lol...
But I like to follow a recipe I've developed over time that I know I got the spices and the ingredient portions just right, since it's easy to under-do or over-do the layers of taste on a lot of stuff I like, especially "camp food".
Unfortunately, keeping most exact recipes with more than 3 ingredients in my head is one of the things I just can't do, unless I'm cooking the same thing every few days...LOL...I blame all the other information I have to absorb from the internet, and of course my "cook's lubricant." :-)
p.s. If you have my chicken bog recipe that I posted on BC, it works with wild turkey but you still need the chicken skin for fat.

Any new ideas? I hope to be after them next week. Depends on a couple of things...
I was just thinking I'd like to try fajitas...cook strips or chucks in a pressure cooker to tenderize them, or maybe some other way.
Anybody have any good fajita tips? Spices, marinades, ingredients?

Gotta go with smoked after being in a brine. I posted this awhile back but tis the season.
27.) Deerminator - 03/28/2013
Roasred whole in a cooking bag. Man that was good. Mom made one that way.
She didn't know how to do one so she did one like normal cept in a cooking bag.
The bird was skinless. Seasonened like normmal.
There's the deep fry. Dangerous but good once ya get the timeing down.
The garbadge can methond also makes a fantastic bird.

What about Cajun deep-fried? Anyone tried that?
30.) bluecat - 03/28/2013
It's all yummy! I've tried those oven bags too. It makes for a moist turkey. Haven't had that Cajun deep-fried but it sounds delicious (with or without beans).

You've missed out. For farm-raised birds there is no better cooking method than Cajun deep-frying. Crispy skin and moist, flavorful meat with no greasiness. Now I'm just curious to see if anyone has subjected wild birds to that treatment, and if they turn out as well.

Tell me you're not serious, and that you do in fact know about Cajun deep-fried turkeys (whole).
And here I just got done telling Swampy how cultured this place is becoming.

they deep fried them in a turkey fryer ..and to this day that was the best turkey i ever eaten..

37.) DParker - 03/28/2013
Well, there you go. Though one of the things that makes it "Cajun" is the injection of a (usually slightly spicey) marinade into the meat before frying.

The farm birds are raised and fed special diets of hormones and chemical compounds to make them fatter, juicyer with bigger breasts.(:-))
They're delicious.
Wild birds should also be tasty, Prolly a shorter cooking time.
I made chicken and biscuits for dinner. Betchya Turkey and biscuits or turkey and dumplings.

We use this with venison. When I cut up the deer any of the good steak ends that won't make a good steak are cut into strips instead of heading to the burger department. We premix a lot of the marinade then vacuum seal them already. Makes a quick and easy meal.
3/4 lb top sirloin steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 flour tortillas ( 8 inch/20 cm)
1 -2 onion, we usually use approx. 1-2 depending on size ( however much you like,enough to make a good mix with the peppers)
2 small sweet peppers, of your choice ( green, red, or yellow)
Give it a try or any variation of this would be good.

I only got out opening morning. Heard a fantastic vocal performance. 3 or 4 gobblers were henned up with a flock. The trees were rocking but I couldn't get the gobblers to come my way. I did have 2 hens fly down about 10 yards from me.
But, since our blueberries are coming in about 2 weeks early this year, I haven't been out since. I hear them gobbling every morning while i'm working. They are just taunting me! I'm hoping for a morning this weekend but don't know how this full moon will affect them.

I only had wild turkey once, but my daughter baked it in one of those cooking bags, which I thought helped retain moisture. Anyway, it was great! I liked it better than farm raised.
