How to butcher wild turkey 101? Put ice in it
Love the content y’all! Just got our first bird down in KY and we’re pumped! Can’t beat wild turkey meat!
Good
Awesome
No skin?
I recognize that tag, lucky blue this year
why not keep the skin????
If you take the wishbone out first you get a cleaner breast.
Essentially
Ya, i wouldn't let you touch my bird.
Plucking sucks
I can only handle Mark Kenyon when he's given a short time frame to speak. But no skin? Soon to be video on plucking and prepping a full bird I hope?
I wouldn’t waste that much of a turkey I pluck it and do it all just like Thanksgiving too much good stuff to leave behind
I always pluck my turkeys while enjoying an ice cold beverage. The skin is delicious and the bones make great stock. It very easy to pluck a turkey.
Really appreciate all the Turkey vids. Turkey opens on the 24th for me. Cant wait for my first bird!
Nothing you do or put on YouTube will be good enough. Always someone who can do it better haha. Good video.
my buddy just skins the whole thing in one go, then butchers. If done right pulling the skin off will pull the guts out at the same time.
Simple and effective! Great work as always!
You should make a video on how to cook the leg portion
I don't know why you wouldn't want the skin. It is so good!
Whats the knife you guys are using? Janis used the same one
FULLY, MAN
Chef ramsey would be disappointed
Essentially you have the essential essentials essentially.
What do you do with the turkey thighs? There’s so many tendons in them it’s hard to do much with. I usually brine and smoke them and then pick the meat out, it’s usually dry and kinda like a soft jerky, but would love to know if there’s better methods.
Thanks for sharing this Mark. I have traditionally plucked birds but just last night I shot a turkey right before sundown and decided to try this as a quicker method to get the bird out of the field. Works great. It's nice to have options!
You monster how dare you disrespect that mouth watering Turkey skin
No plucking?
To bad the feathers go to waste.. sell them to fly fishermen
I totally disagree what a waist of great game
I'd call this vid Wild Turkey 101
Me, a vegan, watching how to process my hunting husbands turkey
thanks for sharing this brilliant and speedy alternative to plucking! For those worried about too much waste, I boil the innards and mash up with rice for feeding my dogs, and peel off remainder of skin and boil the carcass to make chicken broth for soups.
How do you remove the hair off of your game meats, whenever I clean squirrels I always have a little bit of hair left over, I've tried every trick in the book from trying to burn it off to handpicking each little hair off. I have had no luck though….
Where the turkey chop cut is?
Thank you so much this was awesome 😎! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
