The Wild Cheff Talks Turkey
This recently sent to me by my friend Denny Corriveau, the Wild Cheff.
Let’s Talk Turkey
For many of you Spring turkey hunting brings about yet another opportunity to spend quality time in the woods. The challenge of calling in a sumptuous gobbler within shooting range without being detected is thrilling to experience!!!
Ultimately your prize makes it to the table and there are so many delicious ways to slice up turkey recipes, here is one that can bring about a very special occasion for you to enjoy your feast and relive your hunt.
All types of game are known to be lean, which is part of the health benefit. Have you ever thought of flavor brining your wild turkey??? Flavor Brining takes the magic of brining to a new level. Over time, the salt actually unwinds the complex proteins in the muscle tissue of the meat, making it tender. The salt solution infused with flavor from the addition of whole herbs, spices, and aromatics penetrates the cells of the meat, plumping them with moisture and flavor. Flavor Brining delivers moist and tender meat with great flavor.
The WildCheff’s Brining Blends combine clean tasting ingredients such as California sea salt with Demerara sugar and whole spices such as star anise, green peppercorns, black sesame seeds, and chipotle peppers – all infused with aromatics like sesame oil, rosemary oil, and citrus oil. The result is layers of great flavor.
Whether you intend to roast or deep fry your turkey, or just infuse flavor so you can create multiple tasty recipes from your wild turkey meat, flavor brining will get you even more excited about hunting this illustrious bird!
The WildCheff has created 2 distinctive brines that will work extremely well with your wild turkey harvest:
Downeast Farmhouse Brining Blend
The Downeast Farmhouse Brining Blend yields flavor notes from garlic, rosemary, citrus and a hint of allspice berries. It’s a perfect fit for holiday turkeys and chicken. This Brine is great for slow roasting wild turkey that can be enjoyed for turkey dinner, wild turkey soup, wild turkey croquettes, wild turkey burgers, and even wild turkey grilled flatbreads.
New England Smokehouse Brining Blend
The Smokehouse Brining Blend relies on hickory-smoked salt and mesquite notes from chipotle peppers to deliver a pleasing, yet subtle smoke flavor accented with whole green peppercorns. This blend is a great choice for roasting or deep frying wild turkey, and works equally well with white fish.
These Brines can be easily purchased from the WildCheff website. Brining guide included with all purchases.
WildCheff has developed over 28 flavorful spice and sausage blends, as well as brines that are second-to-none for hunters, fishermen and outdoor cooking enthusiasts. They combine fresh and natural herbs and spices and will surely help you to take your fish and game cooking to a whole new level of taste sensation!!!

Lights, camera, action!!!
Be sure to be on the look-out as the WildCheff is currently being considered for his own cooking show series on the Outdoor Channel and The Food Network.
I truly would appreciate your support in the pursuit of representing fellow sportsmen and outdoorswomen to these Networks – would it not be great to have a program that is specific to our interest in the outdoors, featuring fish and game cooking???! It would certainly shed a very positive light on the outdoors and educate the masses on the end prize of what we enjoy when we harvest all varieties of fish and game! More to follow….
Bon appétit and happy hunting,
