Ingredients

  • Marinade

  • 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt

  • 1 tbsp of lemon juice

  • 1 tsp of tumeric

  • 2 tsp of garam masala

  • 1/2 tsp of chili powder

  • 1 tsp of cayenne (optional)

  • 1 tbsp of fresh ginger, grated

  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp of tomato paste

  • Butter Turkey

  • 1.5 lbs of wild turkey breast, cut in 1” cubes

  • 3 tbsp of butter (or more to taste)

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 1 jar of butter chicken sauce

  • 1/3 cup of heavy cream (or more to taste)

Directions

  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients of the marinade. Then, add the turkey and rest of 30 mins to 6h (if you want your turkey more tender).
  • Turn your oven to 475F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum and add a wire rack on the baking sheet. Lay the turkey marinaded on the wire rack. Roast for 15 mins.
  • In the meantime, heat a deep pot under medium heat. Melt 1 tbsp of butter and add the onion. Cook until translucid, about 3 minutes. Add the butter chicken sauce, the cream and the rest of the butter. Mix, bring to a simmer and cover for 15 minutes.
  • The turkey is done its 15 mins. Now, turn the oven to broil and lightly char the turkey, about 2-4 mins.
  • Add the turkey and the drippings from the pan to the sauce. Mix and cook for an additional 5 mins.
  • Serve with jasmin rice and naan bread. Optionally, garnish with cilantro or a tbsp of Greek yogurt.

SUBSTITUTIONS – Since we do not always have success when going outdoors or not everyone practices hunting, fishing or picking. here are a few ideas to substitute the harvested ingredients:

  • The wild turkey can be replaced with store bought chicken breast or thigh.
  • The wild turkey can be replaced with ruffed grouse breasts or any other white-fleshed game bird.
