WILD TURKEY RECIPES
This wild turkey recipe is delicious! CAJUN DEEP FRIED WILD TURKEY Pour the peanut oil into the fryer and heat to 375 degrees. Make sure that the turkey is thawed and dried completely before submerging in the hot oil. Tie two strings completely around the bird so you can lift it out easier. Turn off the flame before you lower the turkey in the hot oil and when done, turn the burner back on. Fry the turkey for approximately 3-1/2 to 4-1/2 minutes per pound. The turkey will float to the top when it is done, but I like to know how long it should take. Meanwhile, you will need the following ingredients: 2 TBS Cajun seasoning 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1 stick butter, melted When the turkey is done, remove the bird from the oil and immediately dust with the Cajun seasoning. Add the garlic and cayenne powder to the melted butter and brush on the turkey. Allow to sit for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Add the mangoes, jalapenos, lime juice and 3 tablespoons of the canola oil. Mix and cover; set aside. Prepare the grill for cooking the turkey; adding a drip pan, and placing coals for indirect heat. In a bowl, mix the spice rub ingredients together. Wash the turkey and pat dry; turn the wings back to hold the neck skin in place.
