Marinate in Italian dressing over night after you cut it into thin slices and throw them babies on the grill.

We made mine the other night. Left breasts whole. Rubbed Italian dressing on them and injected it with creole butter. Cooked it on the grill.

I injected Kody's with Cajun Creole Butter and deep fried it at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes. Came out pretty dang good. Just be sure to let it sit for a while after to let the juices flow.

Usually it's about 3 minutes per pound, but the wild turkey cooked a little quicker than a butter ball. Maybe because of thin skin? Not sure, but it was tasty!

Slice Breasts across the grain, soak in Caribbean Jerk Marinade for about 2 hrs and cook on the grill.

 

[Carpn]

Soak one half of breast in mesquite marinade for a day or two . Cook in crock pot all day then shred it and mix with sweet baby rays BBQ sauce . Put that on a decent bun and top with Cole slaw and a splash of hot sauce

Dang guys. Some good ideas there. I like the Italian dressing idea

 

[Buckmaster]

I leg and breast mine.

Breast usually turn into "chicken" strips.
Legs usually end up in crockpot or I make turkey pot pies with the leg meat.

Breast turn to nuggets and cook they legs 8 hrs in crock pot with chicken stock or broth, then shred off bone and put that in homemade noodle and some biscuit and mashed tater. Damn good chit
