• Unfortunately, most hunters are not great cooks and most people’s approach to cooking game lacks some basic principles for preparing it well.

• Wild turkey is not chicken, don’t try to cook it like chicken!
• Wild turkey is not store-bought turkey, don’t try to cook them the same!
• Most people have no experience whatsoever cooking any turkey outside of thanksgiving style. There is a big knowledge gap!
• Wild turkeys are lean well exercised birds. They MUST NOT be overcooked and dry out quickly.
