I’m always trying to invent new ways that I can use the leg meat on wild turkeys, so when our friend Will came over for dinner and suggested sloppy joes, the gears started turning in my head. I realized this would be a great way to use the leg meat. Slow cooked for 8 hoursContinue reading “Wild Turkey Sloppy Joes”

Wild Turkey Gnocci Soup
Opening day for fall turkey in Maine is September 19th and I couldn’t be more excited. As I continue to say, wild turkey is my favorite game meat and I love that I’m just scratching the surface on ways to prepare it. The legal bag limit in our zone in Maine is 5 turkeys perContinue reading “Wild Turkey Gnocci Soup”
Homemade Blackberry Jam
The other day Connor & his friends came home from a walk in the woods with a bountiful amount of blackberries & blueberries. Berries can be expensive at the store and you just can’t compete with the flavor of fresh berries. Connor suggested I try my hand at making jam. I knew I wanted toContinue reading “Homemade Blackberry Jam”
Air Fryer Buffalo Wings
I’ve always been a sucker for buffalo wings but they’re not always fun to eat out. They’re messy, spicy, and can be super expensive! For a long time, I didn’t know that you could buy fresh drumettes & wingettes at the grocery store, but when I saw them on sale one day it opened upContinue reading “Air Fryer Buffalo Wings”
Tortellini Caprese Salad
The summer is my favorite time to experiment with sides because they pair so well with something fresh off the grill. One of my favorite summer side dishes happens to be caprese salad. As much as I’d like to, I know I can’t have caprese salad 5 out of 7 days in the week. That’sContinue reading “Tortellini Caprese Salad”
Wild Turkey Cubano
My inspiration for this sandwich is the “El Cubano” from one of my favorite restaurants in coastal mid-coast Maine. I don’t venture over there often, but when I do I make sure I pick up one of these sandwiches while I’m there. Home Kitchen Café makes their own bread from scratch and handcrafts each andContinue reading “Wild Turkey Cubano”
Sesame Wild Turkey
Wild turkey is by far my favorite game meat and as a bonus I think it’s also one of the easiest wild meats to cook. Wild turkey breasts can be directly substituted for chicken breasts because the meat, while typically a bit tougher, cooks the same way as breasts bought from the grocery store. OneContinue reading “Sesame Wild Turkey”

Spring turkey season is here and it’s time to put that meat to good use. This recipe is the PERFECT use of that breast meat.

You’ll beContinue reading “Wild Turkey Pot Pie”

Cooking wild turkey legs has traditionally been thought of as hard work with very little reward. However, I’m here to assure you that these tacos are well worth saving that meat. Even better?
