Apple Wild Turkey Breakfast Sausage
3 years agoRecipe: Smoky Apple Wild Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Successful turkey hunters often forget that you can run your gobbler through a grinder. Lean, flavor-rich wild turkey meat—mixed with fatty pork and the right blend of seasonings—makes for primo sausage.
This breakfast sausage recipe will become a permanent fixture in your wild turkey cookbook. Combine it with my bonus recipe for French crepes, and drown the whole show in maple syrup to induce a big round of applause in turkey camp.

Thai Wild Turkey
3 years agoAs I’ve expanded my pallet over the years, Thai food has become a regular part of my diet … and a welcomed inspiration in my wild-game cooking. This hearty, filling recipe is a great example.
