I love hunting, but I hate wasting any meat that is usable. The breasts and legs are definitely the prime parts of a turkey.

I am constantly looking for delicious, somewhat unusual, and very healthy recipes. If I can use some of the game meat I have stored in the freezer, even better.

Last week I had the great opportunity to join some friends on a late-season antelope depredation hunt. I love hunting antelope as there is action all day.
