Title: Turkey Bird with the Sheepeater Spirit/pics
Post by: Randy Morin on April 28, 2007, 08:56:00 AM
They were'nt goin crazy like they were a few weeks ago but I put a few to bed and was on-em the next morning with my Camo-burlap set-up (too far to carry the Brickhouse) and stool.

Unlike the morning before they (3 Jakes)strolled over on the logging road for some cavorting.  Three came in and two ran away. Spined-im with a Snuffer!

And this bird ate so good last night I want to pass on the recipe to any one interested.  Marinade and Barbeque.  I'll post it a little later on this thread.

Last but not least...a new internal combustion powered ground blind by Toyota is showing some big promise.  A little spendy at $18,000 used but worth it.  (Always buy the best you can afford).  I went with metallic silver as it looks like a low hanging cloud to the birds.  The two hens that came in were totally fooled!  :knothead:

Yeah Ken, that shoot-thru reinforced glass is hell on broadhead edges.LOL.  
I was driving out with my bird when I spotted these two hens coming up the road.  They came within about 3 yards of the front bumper.  I should have been under the car and grabbed one by the leg to count coup but I may have lost an eye or something.  That'd been one to remeber.       "[dntthnk]"    

Thanks everyone for the nice words and good luck to you all this season.

Joseph...see you in a few months Bud.

Oh yeah the recipe...sorry
First soaked for 24 hrs in Salt water and Distilled Vinegar.
Then marinade and then BBQ.
Marinade was Lemon Juice, Soy Sauce, Olive oil/Canola mixture, and Ground Mustard, and a little Zesty Italian salad dressing.  I dont have the amounts in front of me but I will post them tomorrow AM.

Randy, those are beautiful turkeys - love those white tips! Congratulations.

When you get your next one, try this recipe.

Stick the breast in the freezer for just long enough for it to firm up, but not freeze completely.

Put a big skillet on the stove, get it warmed up, and add your favorite cooking oil - I like canola, or some other all vegetable oil.

With a fillet knife, cut very thin slices of the breast.

Have a bowl of all purpose flour standing by that has been salted and peppered, and dredge the slices in it until they are lightly coated all around.

Slide them into the frying pan a batch at a time, not too crowded up, and watch them. As they turn white on bottom, flip them...you do not need to overcook...just get the pink out. Serve hot...so whatever you serve with it needs to be ready prior to cooking the medallions of turkey.

I like a small mixed field green salad with small chunks of goat cheese, red onion, walnuts, cranberries,and a balsamic vinagrette or olive oil and lemon juice dressing, along with oven roasted small red potatoes, red bell peppers, onions, carrots,zuchini, squash, and turnips tossed in olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. Let them carmelize (get brown on the edges) and they are ready!
