turkey recipe's

[whyohe]

turkey season is here and wonder what is the best way to prep a turkey and what recipe for your wild turkey. do you only cook the breast?

[ozark]

The breast is the only part I care about but throwing away all but the breast is a waste. This is why I just give my birds to some family that will eat it all. My wife used to make a turkey pot pie that was pretty good but after suffering a stroke she lost her interest in cooking. We eat out a lot or fix something that can be easilly prepared. Oh BTW, our daughter is here with us for a few days. Last night her and I together fixed deer tenderloin, fried sweet potatoes, large golden brown biscuits and gravy that was just tinted brown. Put the gravy on the sweet potatoes as well as a biscuit. I slept pretty good with that meal. Today she cuts both our hair, helps me with a bath and does some house cleanin. Her being a Nurse as well as a cosmetologist doesn't hurt.

MMMMM sounds good! you are a lucky man. I have often wondered if the legs would be good for like turkey noodle soup or some thing like that.

Take the carcass (everything but the breasts) and put it in a pressure cooker. One that will hold 7 quart jars is the perfect size. Pound it for an hour on high pressure (15psi). Now it's time for pickin and grinnin. You'll be amazed how nicely things fall apart including separating the meat from the bango strings in the legs. You can make soup from the stock and cleaned up meat or my favorite is to make salad with the meat and chopped up onions, celery and mayo. After eating a turkey salad sandwich you will be saddened by the fact that many people just throw the carcass away.

Lets see, I save the neck, giblets, breasts, wings to first joint and the legs. If cooked properly the leg meat separates as you said. Wrap some lean smoked bacon around the meat and cook nice and slow flipping the meat every so often to keep contact with juices.
First preference is Jakes as they cook faster than a Tom. To help tenderize the meat it sits in the fridge for 3-4 days before cooking.

The Ohio DNR hired a awesome cook and has really stepped it up. I guess they figuired out the more they spend the less they have to give to the states general fund. It used to be the DNR kept the funds from hunting and fishing license sales. Then a few years ago the governor raided the fund (like $800 million) to meet the budget and rewrote the rules to where surplus funds went to the states general fund.

rossman: They look like excellent recipes, the only problem for me is I have to shoot the turkey and the turkey has outsmarted me.

Michelle E's Notes:
This is such a great warming casserole for the entire family. Directions
1Preheat oven to 375. 2Cook egg noodles, drain then set aside. 3Cut up Turkey breast into cubes. In a large saute pan, add about 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, and cook turkey thoroughly. Remove from pan and set aside. 4In a saucepan, combine milk and bullion and cook over medium heat until the bullion has disolved. 5In a large skillet (just wipe out the one you cooked the Turkey in) melt butter, then stir in flour, and cook for one minute. 6Slowly add in the milk/bullion mixture. When completely mixed together, cook and stir until slightly thickened. 7To the thickened milk mixture, whisk in the sour cream, then stir in the cooked egg noodles, cooked turkey, and new potatoes. 8Coat a 4 quart casserole dish with non-stick spray.
Carefully pour in the mixture, then top with bread crumbs then cheese. 9Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes 10Side dish?....steamed brocoli, fresh green beans, fresh cooked carrots,...I think any light fresh steamed veggie would do great.

We just pushed back from the dinner table and this one is a winner! Quick, easy and tasty!
