Since this year is anything but traditional, maybe try a new approach to your turkey this Thanksgiving with some recipes from our Ambassadors and friends.
SMOKED WILD TURKEY WITH CRANBERRY MEZCAL GLAZE
"I moved to Texas from Australia five years ago without any Thanksgiving traditions, so I’ve been lucky enough to create my own. It usually involves a small group so we can focus on the quality of the food instead of quantity. I spatchcock my turkey instead of cooking whole – it may not look as traditional, but it gives a superior result."

SMOKED OSCEOLA
"From the cuts to the seasoning, and the way we serve it, this is a recipe that’s been passed down in Gray’s family for generations. We hope you enjoy."

SMOKED WILD TURKEY & ANDOUILLE GUMBO
FRIED MONTANA MERRIAM’S
"Camille harvested our mature Merriam’s in late April. It was textbook run-and-gun hunting in the hill country of Montana. Frying our ‘Friendsgiving Day’ turkey has been a staple in our friend group for years. This simple and effective injection marinade is a sure-fire way to leave your friends and family passed out on the couch, begging for leftovers."
