After much conversation with other hunters on their favorite way to fix wild turkey, I opted for a super simple old-timers method. At the heart of the process was trying to convince my wife and grandson that it is really tasty if prepared correctly. This would be one breast with a few smaller cuts from leg and thigh.
I let my grandson tenderize them with the hammer. Then, Marinated overnight in a buttermilk and 1 egg mix with a tsp of salt.
Using a very cool custom knife from my ole buddy "jack", I cut them into tender bit sizes.
Breading was 1-1/2 cups of flour, 1 tblspn baking powder, 1 tspn salt. Deep fried at 375 for 3-5 minutes depending on amount of tenders:
Add your dip of choice. You can add spice as you want. I'm not a hot and spicy kind of guy so this would probably be pretty bland for some people!
As for my grandson:
And my wife (who absolutely refused to eat wild turkey before):
They absolutely loved these!
