tough turkey

Former Member

I smoked a wild turkey, and the breast came out great.

I also salvaged 2 cups of thigh meat that is very chewy and somewhat dry.

what can I make from it?

I though I might add some sauce and and soak / simmer it for an hour and see if it rehydrates at all.

You might try using it baked beans for added flavor, or chili, or maybe make some soup. The legs on a wild turkey do jsut that, and that is why I just discard them anymore.

Most wild game birds are just breasted out. The wings have little to no meat on them and the legs have so many developed tendons.

The 1st time I bit into a pheasant leg, I thought I was biting into a tooth pick box.

Freedom and activity of wild game rob us of the added meat that steroid raised caged animals provide.
