Fried Wild Turkey Recipes
This is a simple wild turkey recipe, but tastes fantastic. You can even use this for fish. It’s very versatile.
RECIPE FOR FRIED WILD TURKEY
2 cups bread crumbs (I use Old London plain bread crumbs)
6 eggs
1 TBS garlic powder
1 TBS onion powder
2 lbs turkey breast, cut into strips
oil for frying
PREHEAT oil to 375 degrees.
Place the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl or on a plate. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the garlic and onion powder. Dip strips in eggs, then coat with crumb mixture.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil and test cook with one piece of a strip before cooking all of them. Fry until center is cooked and strip is a deep golden brown.
NOTE:
The amount of ingredients used should be adjusted accordingly to the amount of turkey you want to fry.

1/2 tsp homemade onion powder
1 cup self rising flour
10 turkey tenderloins
1/2 cup flour
shortening or canola oil for frying, approximately 6 to 10 cups
PREHEAT oil to 350 degrees.
Whisk the egg, milk, broth, and seasonings together in a bowl until salt is dissolved. Whisk the self rising flour into the mixture and let rest for 5 minutes.
