10 Favorite Wild Turkey Breast Recipes

Fried turkey breast is always a favorite, but there are other ways to cook your bird this spring

Whenever I talk wild turkey recipes with other hunters, the first one to come up is always fried. Turkey nuggets, turkey strips, the recipes may be slightly different, but it always seems to end up fried to a delicious, crunchy golden brown. And there ain't a thing wrong with that. Fried turkey breast is delicious.

But say you live with a big family of turkey hunters like I do, and everyone tags out for the season. Or maybe you hunt multiple states and have pretty good luck in all of them. You end up with a freezer full of wild turkey. And too much of anything, even something as great as fried wild turkey breast, gets old after a bit.

This year, try some of these other cooking methods. Sure, some of these are fried as well, but they all have a bit of a twist over the traditional method. Don't see something you like? Just click wild turkey on the ingredient list here at Timber2Table, where you'll find even more ideas.
