Tis’ the season for turkey hunting. I am grateful for my hunter man right now because due to COVID-19 it has been very difficult to keep up with our supply of organic and pasture-raised meat. Having a family of 6 we need a plan B, which means it’s wild game time. Oh yeah.
Wild turkey is a little bit tougher than other turkey, which turns some people off, but this recipe helps give the turkey flavor throughout. My kids and husband love it!
This recipe can work for other meats as well, such as rotisserie chicken. I love my Instant Pot! If you haven’t purchased an Instant Pot yet, you need to. I promise it is such a game changing time saver. Here is the one I use.
Enjoy!
