WILD TURKEY NUGGETS

Home Up

There are plenty of ways to prepare Wild Turkey but my favorite is to filet the breast from the ole boy and slice the meat across the grain in about 1/2 width strips the full thickness of the breast filet which can be an inch or two thick and marinate it a day or two in the refrigerator to soften the fibers up a little since they are much tougher than a tame turkey.  The recipe for the marinade as follows: 

            3 Eggs 

            2 Cups Buttermilk

            3 Tablespoons Paprika

            1 Tablespoon Salt

            1 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper

            2 Teaspoons Onion Powder

            2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder

I usually drain the turkey strips using a colander and coat them with flour or a seafood breader like House of Autry and add a little additional sprinkling of salt and black pepper and deep fry them in hot oil @ 350 degrees until golden brown.
