Hearing the tom turkeys gobble and watching them strut in the open fields is an annual ritual for spring turkey hunters. After the thrill and excitement of turkey-hunting season, however, it’s time to cook the turkeys. You can find a variety of recipes for wild turkey breasts, but starting the cooking process with a marinade adds flavor to your final product. Marinated turkey breast can be enjoyed in a variety of settings, including a sports event, dinner party or family meal.
Slice the turkey breast into thin, 1/2- to 3/4-inch strips.
