You Got Your Turkey - Now What?

Once you harvest your turkey, the next step is preparing the meat and cooking up a great wild meal. Idaho chef, Randy King, not only has turkey recipes to try, but also tips on how to prepare turkey meat to get the best taste and texture from your bird. "Turkeys consist of five cuts of meat in total - the breast, the tenderloin, the wings, the thighs and the drumsticks," King said in his blog. "Each of these bird parts beg for a separate cooking method." For the spring turkey hunt, King offers up a recipe for wild turkey cutlets on Idaho Fish and Game's turkey web page http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/hunt/?getPage=131.
