Yesterday I fixed one of the best turkeys we’ve had for ThanksGiving. My sons had their part in it too. I’m not one for gamey taste of wild meats, but turkey has been an exception. It tastes great, not gamey. And this one turned out wonderful!
They breast them out when they clean them, so there isn’t a full turkey for a platter, just breast, thighs and legs. But it worked good for what I did.
If you have fresh wild turkey, give my recipe a try.
Lisa’s Crock Pot Wild Turkey
1 small onion, chopped (organic)
2-3 stalks celery, chopped (organic)
wild turkey pieces (breasts and legs)
dried parsley (organic)
garlic granules (organic)
vegetable bouillon (Rapunzel, organic – or Better Than Bouillon)
Dissolve bouillon cube in 1 cup hot pure water.
Put onion and celery in bottom of crock pot.
Place turkey pieces on top of veggies. Sprinkle with parsley and (lightly with) garlic. Pour bouillon over. Cook on high 5-7 hours. After done, use broth to make gravy – add flour (fresh ground, whole wheat) basil, salt and pepper.
BTW, we had a “traditional” looking store-bought turkey too. That one I cooked in a cooking bag in my electric roaster oven. It was good too, but not as good as the fresh one.
Hope you had a great ThanksGiving and a Good for You-Naturally!™ ThanksGiving feast. If not (the feast) stay tuned for more help in making Good for You-Naturally!™ lifestyle changes!
