Wild Turkey can be used in more recipes than just baked or fried ones. Let’s start looking beyond the word “Wild” and start using meat as meat. Here is a new recipe I came up with and I have a feeling it will become on of our families new favorites.
Sesame & Ginger Wild Turkey
Meat:
1 pound wild turkey breast or thigh meat, cubed
3 tablespoons corn starch
1 cup flour
½ teaspoon ginger powder
1 teaspoon cracked pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon chili powder
1 egg, whisked
Bunch of green onions, white cut off
Directions:
- In Ziploc bag add all ingredients minus egg wash and meat
- Dip each chunk of turkey into egg wash and shake in flour mixture
- In large wok or skillet add ½ cup peanut oil over med-high and stir fry turkey until fully cooked 4-6 minutes
- You can cook meat in batches if your skillet or wok is not large enough
Sauce:
- 1 cup light soy sauce
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons corn starch
Finish:
- In small bowl whisk all ingredients together
- Once meat is fully cooked add sauce and green onions to the skillet or wok and coat meat, sauce will start to thicken as it cooks.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, constantly stirring so not to burn sauce
- Remove from heat add 3 tablespoons sesame seeds and top with diced green onions
- scoop over cooked rice and enjoy
