Younger birds- pluck all the feathers (yeah, fun times).Place 1 small apple quartered and 1 small onion quartered in the cavity. Lay 5 or 6 strips of bacon across the breast. Place in roasting bag, roast at 375, make gravy out of the liquid that collects in the roasting bag.

 

Boneless Breast meat-1). Cut in cubes, marinate, wrap in bacon, cook on BBQ grill- excellent!  2). Slice into cutlets, pound with a meat hammer, bread, and make parmesan style or chicken fried turkey with cream gravy. 3) Cut into strips, bread, deep fry, serve as "fingers". 4) Simmer in water or roast in the oven until cooked through, cool overnight, make into turkey salad.

 

Boneless thighs-cube, make into stew or goulash. Or grind them up for sausage.

 

Skinless pieces: Cacciatore, coq au vin, fry and simmer in mushroom soup, arroz con turkey. Obviously, you have to pre-cook the pieces until almost tender before using in typical "chicken" recipes, turkey is leaner & tougher, just the nature of the beast.

 

Hope this helps. And make sure to watch for BBs, #6 are hard to find sometimes, easy to break a tooth or crown.
