    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    For those that haven't eaten wild turkey before, they are nothing like store bought ones. Much more gamey taste, serve up the white meat like any roast bird but put the dark meat into a stew or something I reckon.
    Coincidentally a mob of sixteen birds that I have been watching from a distance crossed the road today and are literally 50m from me sitting on the shitter right now, tempted to dispatch one for the oven but the plucking is a job I may not have time for

    If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.

    Are you or the birds sitting on the shitter?
    I vacuum packed breasts and legs off six birds and got over 11kgs of meat, nice and fat. I want to cut some breasts into strips and flour, egg and batter with panko to fry. Would be nice with aioli.

    That sounds brilliant Johnino - love Panko crumbed stuff. Let me know how it comes out as I have a few kilo's myself and was just thinking of using the old roast in the BBQ with the top down and wrapped in bacon technique- that usually covers two angles - firstly stops the breast meat from getting too dry, and secondly with the bacon hides the gamey-ness notes of the meat for those not used to it.

    YUM - Let me know if you the Panko method also stops it from getting too dry!!!
