Haha i was thinking the same thing.Sorry man, but they did you a favor. I had to quit hunting turkey because they've gotta be the worst eating game I've ever experienced.

I want to share coordinates with you. View it in the onX Hunt app here: https://huntsmarter.app.link/oENJbz3zCJbI can swing out there next Spring and kill a couple to help thin them out. Send me a pm if you’d like or be willing to help a fella out.
Fixed it for yaNormal people dont eat wild turkey.
Agreed, Rokslide is normally a place of critical thinking and these seem like comments I would hear from non hunters about bear meat or sea ducks, etc. I'm guessing meat handling or lack of cooking knowledge is the issue or its a regional thing that I haven't experienced.I'm astonished there are people who don't like wild turkey. It is the one wild game that people universally love in my experience.
To those who don't like wild turkey, where are you hunting? What are they eating? How are you cooking?
Instant pot is the way. I did an hour at high pressure but could have done longer even. I think 1.5 hours would be perfect. Pull the meat off the bones by hand and chop it up.Schnitzel for the breasts. Get it pounded out thin, seasoned and covered in panko. Some fresh lemon squeezed over the top. Not sure you can even taste the turkey. Kinda want to try a pickle brine on it next time.
I haven't had luck with the legs/thighs either but my only attempt was pretty weak. Posole that didn't cook long enough. I'm thinking the instapot for the next one and turkey salad.
Turkey green apple breakfast sausage doesn't disappoint either.
It’s all in the preparation. I cooked a bear roast last week from an older boar and shredded it for BBQ. My wife and daughter both said it was one of the best sandwiches they’ve had.However, Bear meat is disgusting, and I will never hunt another bear. A small bear is ok, but a big bear is so greasy, it's inedible.
Turkey schnitzel is amazing.Schnitzel for the breasts. Get it pounded out thin, seasoned and covered in panko. Some fresh lemon squeezed over the top. Not sure you can even taste the turkey. Kinda want to try a pickle brine on it next time.
