Wild Turkey Kiev – Recipe

One wild turkey tenderloin with tendons removed.  Gently flatten with a smooth meat mallet.

Place in a bowl with 1 cup buttermilk and marinate overnight or for up to 2 days.

Remove from buttermilk and pat dry with paper towel. Season to taste with salt, ginger and sweet paprika.

 

This is good served over a bed of rice.  Cook your choice of rice per the instructions for that rice.  Wild rice is my preferred rice.  While rice is cooking prepare the Kiev butter.

Kiev Butter

4 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon heavy cream

1 teaspoon lemon juice

chives

dash of garlic powder

Melt butter then add cream and lemon juice stir and reheat.  Add chives and garlic.

Melt a quarter cup of butter in a pan and add turkey to poach over low heat

 

When the turkey is done remove from the pan and place on top of rice.  Pour the warm Kiev butter onto the turkey and rice. Enjoy!
